Additionally, he announced the construction of a new Municipal Corporation building in Manesar, with an estimated cost of Rs. 76 crores. Discussions will be held with NHI, Government of India, to elevate the Hodal-Nuh, Pataudi-Patauda Road to National Highway status. He announced that all demands included in the memorandum submitted by the MLA, Satya Prakash Jrawta will be fulfilled after checking their feasibility.
Addressing the gathering at the public meeting, Saini said our government is making new decisions to simplify their lives and in the past 10 years, our double-engine government has not only transformed India but also worked on transforming Haryana.
Saini while criticizing the opposition said that those who are now demanding the account of works done by our government should note that their government worked on a commission mode, while our double-engine government operates in mission mode. He said that during the Congress era, politics was characterized by casteism, regionalism, and nepotism. Jobs were obtained through parchi-kharchi. Corruption was prevalent in transfers during their time, whereas now transfers are done online, said Saini.
He said that the success of the present state government’s tenure is evident from the experiences of various beneficiaries including youth, who have secured government jobs without ‘Parchi Kharchi’, the poor who now receive free medical treatment, farmers who benefit from direct crop insurance and compensation payments, and the elderly who no longer have to endure lengthy processes to receive their pensions.
Families with an annual income of less than Rs. 1 lakh have been provided with Happy Cards, allowing 23 lakh families and 84 lakh members to free travel upto 1000 kilometres annually on Haryana Roadways buses. He also mentioned that through the Ayushman-Chirayu scheme, families have been provided with treatment facilities up to Rs. 5 lakh. Under this scheme, 1.19 crore Ayushman and Chirayu cards have been issued, benefiting the people. Under this, Rs. 2173 crore have been spent by the government for the treatment of 54,000 people. He added that the Dayalu scheme is helping families, with Rs. 423 crore provided under this scheme.
Saini stated that the government has worked to free women from smoke by providing gas connections and cylinders. Now, our government has decided that 12 gas cylinders will be provided per year at Rs. 500 each. This scheme has been in effect since August 1. It will benefit approximately 49 lakh families. Additionally, due to the lower rainfall this year, the Cabinet has decided to provide farmers with a bonus of Rs. 2,000 per acre to reduce the extra burden on them. He said that our double-engine government is continuously working for the benefit of farmers, and Haryana has now become the first state in the country where all crops of farmers will be purchased at MSP (Minimum Support Price).
He said that the state government has provided Rs. 370 crore to 71,196 beneficiaries under Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Awas Navinikaran Yojana. Besides this, under the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Scheme, 20 lakh farmers in the state have received benefits amounting to Rs. 5,694 crore. The Chief Minister accepted the memorandum presented by MLA, Satya Prakash Jrawta and announced that the work will be completed after verifying its feasibility.
