Amid the ongoing war of words between the ruling BJP and the Opposition parties, the Chief Minister and senior leaders of opposition parties in Haryana came together on dais at an event on Tuesday.The occasion was a one-day seminar on the “Importance of Committees of Haryana Vidhan Sabha” where Haryana Chief Minister Manohar lal, leader of Opposition in Haryana and senior INlD leader Abhay Singh Chautala, former Chief Minister and Congress leader Bhupinder Singh Hooda, Cabinet Ministers, State MlAs among others were present.On the occasion, the ruling and Opposition leaders greeted each other with hugs and glowing and beaming smiles.
Notably, the ruling BJP and Congress leaders have been exchanging harsh words for over a month now over various issues. While Congress’ Bhupinder Singh Hooda is carrying out his Jan Sampark Abhiyan to press the state BJP Government to fulfill its election promises, opposition INlD is also time and again issuing statements questioning BJP for not delivering on election promises and other issues.A day before only, the Chief Minister had through his official Twitter account responded to various allegation of the opposition on the issue of poll promises and corruption.One of his tweets said “BJP will fulfill all its promises made in the election manifesto. In this regard, work is being down step-by-step.
”Meanwhile, the Chief Minister, while speaking at one-day seminar on Tuesday urged all MlAs of different Committees of Haryana Vidhan Sabha to rise above party politics and participate diligently and dedicatedly in meetings of the committees so as to give valuable suggestion for welfare and development of the State.This is true responsibility of public representatives in a democracy, said he adding that holding of such kind of seminar were very important for all elected representatives especially for those elected for the first time.Earlier also, a training camp for all legislators was organised.There are 18 permanent committees of Vidhan Sabha on different subjects but Committee on Public Accounts, Committee on Public Undertakings, Committee on Estimates and Committee on welfare of Scheduled Castes, Tribes and Backward Classes are more important as these are selected by the House.
Members of the remaining committees are nominated by the Vidhan Sabha Speaker.While describing House committees as bridge between legislators, executives and people, Manohar lal said that House serves for a fixed session period but committees were continuously functional and suggest the government. He said that seminar is being organised to make the working system of committees more efficient.The Chief Minister said that many members were elected first time in 13th Vidhan Sabha and he himself elected to Vidhan Sabha for the first time.He pointed out that mostly there was an expression in mind that committees have been constituted to delay a work but it is not the case here. The house committees have sent recommendations which largely benefit the Government.
