Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Monday said that the State government has worked uniformly for the development of every sector. In the interest of farmers, the state government has decided to procure all crops at MSP. Recently, Rs 900 crore has been allocated for development works in Panchayats, he added.
Saini said this after visiting villages of the Ladwa Assembly constituency, namely Beed Pipli, Khanpur, Babain, Mangoli Jattan, Chapra, and Gobindgarh. This visit was a part of the Dhanyawadi daura being conducted by the Chief Minister to express his gratitude to the people of the State for giving such a huge mandate to his government for the third consecutive time.
On this occasion, Saini announced the fulfillment of 12 demands for Beed Pipli through respective departments and sanctioned Rs. 20 lakh for the village. Besides this, additional grants of Rs. 20 lakh each were announced for Khanpur and Chapra villages, and Rs. 30 lakh for Babain village. The Chief Minister directed the officers to draft estimates for the construction of village streets in Babain village. He said that construction of a government college in the Babain village will be done after checking the feasibility.
He assured that there would be no shortage of funds for development works across the state, including Ladwa constituency. He directed the officers concerned to prioritize road improvements works and ensure that necessary repairs are carried out promptly. Additionally, new roads will be constructed where required to enhance transportation facilities, said Saini.
The CM said that under the state government's commitment to providing housing for the poor, one lakh plots of 100 square yards will soon be allotted in the first phase. Financial assistance for building houses on these plots will be provided under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana. He said that the government's aim is to ensure that every poor individual in the state has a place to live. Earlier, the state government had already provided 15,230 plots of 30 square yards each in 14 cities.
Saini said that even before taking the oath, the government had provided 25,000 government jobs to youth without any favouritism, bringing happiness on the faces of thousands of poor families. Moreover, the government has ensured the availability of gas cylinders at Rs. 500 for BPL families, free dialysis for kidney patients, and free medical treatment under the Ayushman Bharat scheme for senior citizens aged above 70 years, said Saini.
While criticising the Opposition, the Chief Minister said that the illusions created by opposition parties have now been shattered. He alleged that previous governments have always exploited the poor and failed to deliver the benefits of government schemes to them, whereas, Prime Minister Modi has worked to ensure that the benefits of schemes reach the last mile citizens.
