Shri Ashok Gehlot's first tenure of Chief Ministership (1-12-1998 to 8-12-2003) was remarkable, among other things, for unprecedented drought management, power generation, infrastructure development, employment generation, industrial and tourism promotion, financial management and good governance. Famine affected people stocked more wheat with them than they could get from their crops. Even the op
position could not raise a finger for non-availability of food grain or fodder as he personally monitored the famine relief operations. Empathizing with the poor and their sufferings is what Shri Gehlot is known for. His slogan "Save Water, Save Electricity, Educate all" was hailed by all and sundry in Rajasthan. Shri Ashok Gehlot has been sworn-in as the Chief Minister of Rajasthan for the second time on 13th December 2008.
