Congress MLA Harimohan Sharma Secures Invitation to Airport Ceremony Following Assembly Intervention
In a notable development, veteran Congress functionary and Bundi MLA Harimohan Sharma revealed on Sunday that he received an invitation to the foundation-laying ceremony for the Kota-Bundi Greenfield Airport only after he raised the issue in the Rajasthan Assembly. Sharma emphasized that his name was included on the commemorative plaque and a seat was reserved for him on the stage alongside other dignitaries, following his advocacy with colleagues Narendra Budania and Shatrughan Gautam.
Formal Invitation and Ceremony Details
Sharma detailed that two days prior to the Saturday ceremony, Bundi collector Akshya Godara contacted him on Thursday to extend a formal invitation, which he accepted. The collector confirmed that the incumbent MLA's name was inscribed on the plaque and arrangements were made for his seating among the guests on stage. This gesture came after Sharma's persistent efforts to highlight the matter during assembly proceedings, underscoring the importance of legislative representation in local infrastructure projects.
Warm Reception from Dignitaries
During the event, Sharma expressed satisfaction with the warm response he received from key figures. Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla and Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma notably stood up from their seats to greet him with handshakes when he approached them on stage. This interaction highlighted a moment of bipartisan acknowledgment and respect amidst the ceremonial proceedings, reflecting the collaborative spirit often seen in such public engagements.
The foundation-laying ceremony marks a significant step in the development of the Kota-Bundi Greenfield Airport, a project aimed at enhancing regional connectivity and economic growth. Sharma's involvement, secured through legislative channels, underscores the role of elected representatives in ensuring transparency and inclusion in government initiatives. This incident serves as a reminder of the ongoing dynamics between political parties and administrative processes in Rajasthan's governance landscape.
