Mount Abu Vasundhara Raje Scindia

Vasundhara Raje Scindia is synonymous with Rajasthan she’s now an integral part of the princely state of Rajasthan; born into the royal family of the Scindia it’s befitting that she is the Chief Minister of this austere state of her forefathers’. Her sudden and unpredictable visit caught the authorities with their guard down. Abu overnight was given a tremendous facelift, potholes in the road disappeared, the surrounding areas were spick and span there was a flurry of activity all over, trees bases were whitewashed the roadside demarked with white and pink chunna enhancing the whole countryside.
The army had prepared the helipad at their base, she arrived just before the finals of the Maharao Sirohi Pole Match. Her motorcade to the Trevor pavilion was marked with pomp and show by her co-party workers the BJP. She did not waste any time, without much flair and ado she flagged off the polo match.
The crowning glory was her speech to the Abuites. In her speech, she dispelled all doubts that had given this place a graven look. The embargo on the sale and purchase of land in Mount Abu that had been placed by the Rajasthan Government was finally lifted, and the exclusion of the town of Mount Abu from under the sanctuary umbrella sent cheers of applauds throughout the audience its vibrations also reflected in the state of Gujarat, as many Gujarati’s own land in Abu. What cheered me most was her wonderful decision to see that the Nakki Lake was given immediate attention also her wise decisions declared in today’s राजस्थान पत्रिका.

I had previously aired my personal grievances on Nov 13, 2006, against the town of Abu falling under the authority of sanctuary laws. My personal reflections are reflected in my article for the Times of India and in my Google website. Click on the link to see the page.
