FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked this post and found it to be misleading.
Firstly, we searched the news with relevant keywords and found many reports from 2021 stating that a religious tourism circuit will be built in Rajasthan at a cost of Rs 100 crores, under which places of worship across religions.
You can see the full coverage by Economic Times here.
We got many more media reports about Rajasthan government Budget which you can see here.
It is not mentioned anywhere in these reports that Rs 100 crore has been allotted to a single religious place of any one religion. It is clearly mentioned in these media reports that out of Rs 500 crore allocated to the tourism sector, Rs 100 crore will be used to develop religious tourism circuits covering all religions.
Apart from this, during the investigation, we also started checking the 2021-22 Budget speech of the Government of Rajasthan. On pages number 73 and 74, we got information related to the religious tourism circuit. It is clearly written that Rs 100 crore will be spent on the development of places of all religions. You can read this here.
With this much information, we can claim that the news on social media that the Rajasthan Government allocated Rs 100 crores for dargahs in the Budget is wrong.
