50,000 new recruitments in the days to come – Haryana Chief Minister
Public should beware of those who mislead with lies – Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini
Chandigarh, July 22 –
Haryana Chief Minister Sh Nayab Singh Saini said that the state government has taken several steps to benefit the poor. He highlighted that government jobs are now being given without ‘kharchi-parchi’ and 50,000 more recruitment will be done in the days to come.
The Haryana Chief Minister made these remarks as the chief guest at an event in district Karnal today.
Criticizing the opposition, Sh Nayab Singh Saini stated 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, current government has so far given possession and papers for plots to 20,000 individuals, and those who have left will also 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.
Haryana Chief Minister Sh Nayab Singh 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 Sh. Modi has governed the country in accordance with the Constitution for the past 10 years, while the Congress forgets the Constitution when in power.
MLA Mr. Harvinder Kalyan, Chief Minister’s OSD Mr. Sanjay Bathla, Deputy Commissioner Mr. Uttam Singh, SP Mr. Mohit Handa, and other dignitaries were present on this occasion.
