The attempt by the BJP to reach out to the masses ahead of the Assembly elections is significant as it plans to ouster the Ashok-Gehlot government. Assembly polls in Rajasthan is slated for later this year.

India created history on August 23 by becoming the first country to achieve a soft landing near the south pole of the moon. The successful conduct of what was the maiden lunar landing mission of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) also put India in an elite club of nations featuring the US, Russia, and China. 

Meanwhile, the Congress in Rajasthan has promised free electricity up to 100 units and fixed rate for the next 100. Earlier, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot had promised huge subsidies on cooking gas.

Ahead of the Karnataka assembly election, the Congress announced a slew of promises--monthly free allowances, free 200 units of electricity and 10 kilograms of rice which helped the grand the old party script history in the southern state.

BJP, which is still smarting over its defeat, is gleeful over the ruling party's predicament. BJP MP Pratap Sinha has urged people not to pay electricity bills from June 1 if their consumption is below 200 units.
