Accusing the Congress government, MLA Biharilal Vishnoi said that the fuel surcharge which was 18 paise per unit in the previous BJP government has been increased to an average of 60 paise per unit by the Congress government. In 2018, the rate of electricity per unit was Rs 5.55, which has now been increased to Rs 11.90. Rajasthan Vidyut Utpadan Nigam has 10 thermal and hydel plants and 3 other power plants with a power generation capacity of 8597.35 MW, but due to government policies this production has reduced to only 3500 to 4000 MW due to shortage. Coal, a technical fault occurred. On the other hand, 5 to 7 thermal power plants are shut down in the state every month due to mismanagement by the state government.

MLA Vishnoi said that the situation of drinking water in the district is worse in the situation of drinking water crisis, many villages of the district in urban and rural areas are dependent on Ram for drinking water supply. The Congress government in the state has left no stone unturned to spoil the Jal Jeevan Mission scheme of the central government. He said that the BJP will hold agitations across the state regarding the electricity and water crisis. On May 19, massive demonstrations will be held at district headquarters and sub-divisional headquarters regarding electricity and water.

The state government is unnecessarily troubling the refugees from Pakistan. In the past, houses in refugee settlements were demolished in Jodhpur in the name of encroachment. Now the houses of Bhil refugees from Pakistan in Jaisalmer district should be demolished, which is completely illegal. Government of India is providing citizenship and other facilities to such refugees after testing them. It is our duty to shelter persecuted Hindus from other countries when the state government is oppressing them.
