He highlighted the nation’s strong democracy and emphasized the collective responsibility to protect it, in accordance with the Constitution of India. The state government is committed to promoting social and economic equality, as well as the overall development of the people, by adhering to policy guidelines.
The state-level Independence Day event was held at Sawai Man Singh Stadium in Jaipur, where Gehlot raised the national flag.
