In April this year, Gehlot said the government will give smartphones in a phased manner from Raksha Bandhan (August 30). He said that the purpose of providing smartphones to the women is to empower them.
In June, Gehlot said that there are many types of phones with different specifications and one buys a phone with choice only. “Mobile phone is such a thing. If you go to buy it in the market then you will get the one of your choice…how much GB you need, which brand you want. We are trying to talk to the companies that they should set up counters like the inflation relief camps and give choices to people,” the Rajasthan chief minister said. He said that the government is considering to transfer a fixed amount to bank accounts of women beneficiaries against the purchase of a phone.
