Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Sunday lauded the working of Manohar Lal Khattar Government in the last five years and said that he is confident that once again, the BJP would form government in Haryana.
“The people of the state would re-elect Manohar Lal as their Chief Minister,” the Union Defence Minister said while addressing the people after flagging off ‘Jan Aashirwad Yatra’ in Kalka here.
Rajnath Singh said that BJP didn’t have any Chief Ministerial name in 2014 assembly elections, but when BJP won with full majority, then Prime Minister Narendra Modi chose Manohar Lal as the Haryana Chief Minister. In the last five years, the results of works done by the Chief Minister proved that he is an able Chief Minister, he said.
Referring to previous State Government regimes, he said that earlier, when the leaders were in power in Haryana, the topic of corruption was most discussed about them. But now no such discussion happens regarding present Chief Minister, he said.
He also appealed to the people to mindfully elect their representative in the upcoming assembly elections, due to be held in October.
“In Haryana, investment of Rs 85,000 crore has taken place in the last five years. In 'Ease of Doing Business', Haryana has reached to third position from 14th in the country and is expected to reach the first place in the next two-three years,” the Union Minister said.
Speaking on the occasion, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal said that in 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the BJP won all 10 seats in Haryana. The mandate received from the people of the state in Municipal Corporation elections, Municipal Committee elections, bye-elections of Jind and recently concluded Lok Sabha elections is proof of people’s support for work done by the government so far in Haryana, he said.
Development works which have been carried out in Haryana in the last five years, have never happened before. In this link, development works of Rs 800 crore have been carried out in Kalka and 120 villages of Morni have been provided with water supply. Road networks have been laid, ROBs are being constructed and Pinjore by-pass is also being constructed. On 100 acres land of HMT, Apple Mandi is being set up and industry would be set up in the remaining land, the Chief Minister said while highlighting his government’s achievements.
Manohar Lal also said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and Home Minister Amit Shah, a historic step of revoking of Article 370 and 35A from Jammu and Kashmir was taken.
