Haryana Chief Minister, Manohar Lal Khattar, has recently brought to light what he claims to be a period of corruption, crime, and caste-based politics under the leadership of the previous Congress government. Speaking at the Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra, Khattar asserted that since the BJP government took office in 2014, the state has shifted towards development-oriented politics, focusing on education, health, security, self-respect, and self-reliance.
Khattar accused the previous government of allowing corruption, crime, and caste-based politics to thrive, emphasizing a departure from these issues since the BJP assumed power. Under the banner of ‘Haryana Ek-Haryanvi Ek,’ the government aimed to ensure that all schemes contribute to social harmony and benefit citizens according to the principles of antyodaya.
During his address, Khattar highlighted the difficulties citizens faced under the previous administration when attempting to avail themselves of various government schemes. He claimed that people would endure long and fruitless visits to government offices, facing not only bureaucratic hurdles but also corruption. However, he asserted that times have changed, and eligible beneficiaries now benefit from government schemes and facilities without having to navigate through bureaucratic obstacles.
Khattar underscored the significance of the Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra, a mega outreach program designed to connect with individuals who have not yet availed themselves of government schemes. He stressed its role in realizing the Prime Minister’s vision of making India a developed nation. Khattar urged citizens to actively participate in the yatra and take advantage of both central and state government schemes.
The chief minister pointed out that the yatra has been instrumental in creating awareness about various central government initiatives, including Ujjwala Yojana, Awas Yojana, and Mudra Yojana. He commended the radical changes in the system that now allow eligible beneficiaries to access government schemes and facilities at their doorstep.
As Haryana focuses on establishing micro-industries in every block, Khattar outlined plans for the state’s economic growth. Additionally, he mentioned the significant participation of around 65 lakh women in self-help groups, contributing to the state’s economy through the production and sale of goods. Khattar also emphasized the growth of the food processing industry in Haryana, with approximately 28,000 units established in the past eight years.
In conclusion, the chief minister reiterated the commitment to the Prime Minister’s vision for a developed India by 2047 and encouraged citizens to actively engage with government schemes. While addressing the challenges of the past, Khattar painted a picture of a transformed Haryana, moving towards holistic development and prosperity under the current government’s leadership.
