BJP president J P Nadda on Thursday praised several schemes and programmes initiated by the Khattar government, including for conservation of water, saying these can be showcased in the country and we need to create an environment to replicate these.
Nadda was speaking at a virtual meeting of the Haryana BJP State Executive.
Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, state ministers Anil Vij and Kanwar Pal, and party state in-charge Vinod Tawde, joined the meeting through video conferencing from here.
Hitting out at the previous regimes, he said at one time Haryana used to be known for large-scale corruption, anarchy, shady land deals, irregularities in giving jobs, among others. “This had become Haryana's identity,” Nadda said, adding that after the BJP came to power in 2014, the state's image changed and now it had become a progressive state.
Under Modi's leadership, two vaccines were developed against COVID-19 in just nine months, he said while accusing Congress leaders of indulging in criticism and trying to demoralise the people of the country. "Earlier, some opposition leaders opposed the vaccines, saying they are not guinea pig or rats. Those who doubted the vaccines are now getting them…,” he said.
Talking about Haryana, the BJP president said the Khattar government enjoys a clean image and that unlike the previous regimes, there has been no scam during the past seven years in the state. He added that the state government has empowered common citizens through digitilisation of various services.
