Recruitment for 50,000 posts to be initiated soon in Hry: CM Saini

Tuesday, 23 July 2024 | PNS | Chandigarh

Stating that government jobs are now being given without ‘kharchi-parchi’, Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Monday said that 50,000 new recruitments would be done soon in the state. Additionally, the State Government has taken several steps to benefit the poor, he added.

The Chief Minister made these remarks as the chief guest at an event in Karnal. Criticizing the opposition, Saini said that the Congress party had only promised to provide 100-square yard plots to the poor but failed to deliver the plot papers and possession. In contrast, the current government has so far given possession and papers for plots to 20,000 individuals, and  those who have left will also be given plots.

He also said that the government has decided to waive the electricity surcharge for connections up to 2 kilowatts. Consumers will only pay for the units consumed, meaning that if they are out of town for a month, their bill will be zero. Additionally, the government will install 2-kilowatt solar panels on the roofs of houses belonging to consumers with an annual income of less than Rs 1.80 lakh. The cost of this installation, amounting to Rs 1 lakh, will be covered 60 percent by the Central Government and 40 percent by the Haryana Government. Any surplus electricity generated by these solar panels will be purchased by the Power Corporation.

He said that the state government has provided free travel up to 1,000 km per year in state transport buses for 84 lakh people from 23 lakh families with an annual income of less than Rs 1 lakh by issuing them HAPPY cards.

Under the Mukhya Mantri Shehri Awas Yojna, 30-square-yard plots are being allocated to the poor in cities, with 15,000 people already receiving plots in 14 cities. He also highlighted that the benefits of the Ayushman Bharat-Chirayu Yojana are reaching the people and that the government is covering the entire cost of education for daughters from families with an income of up to Rs 1.80 lakh.

Saini also criticized the Congress for spreading misinformation. He said that during their tenure, there were shortages of electricity and long queues for gas cylinders. In contrast, the current government ensures 24-hour electricity and easy availability of LPG cylinders.

Taking a dig at the opposition, the Chief Minister stated that those with questionable records are the ones demanding account from others. He remarked that both the Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party are trying to deceive the public, criticizing each other while also collaborating.

He recalled how a Congress leader had warned that if Narendra Modi became Prime Minister, the Constitution would be endangered. However, he pointed out that Modi has governed the country in accordance with the Constitution for the past 10 years, while the Congress forgets the Constitution when in power.

Sanctions Rs 900 crore for construction of Chaupals in rural areas

In another event, addressing the gathering in village Ratangarh, Sindhuria Palace in Karnal, Saini said that the Government has allocated Rs 900 crore for the construction of Chaupals for all sections in the rural areas of the State. This amount will soon be transferred to the accounts of the Gram Panchayats. He said that the government has significantly developed rural areas over the past 10 years, ensuring that village residents now have access to basic facilities comparable to those in cities. Prime Minister Narendra Modi envisions rapid development across the country and the state, ensuring that no village is left behind in this progress.
