The
felicitation gathering was attended by the state’s leading
artistes, bureaucrats and industrialists. Everybody
seemed happy and elated since this was the first time that the
Government of Rajasthan had announced and conferred the Rajasthan
Ratna Award that
was followed up by a felicitation function.
Chief
Minister Ashok Gehlot was scheduled to attend the function but could
not as he got stuck in Mumbai. His son Vaibhav Gehlot attended as did
other politicians cutting across party lines.
