Ahead of LS polls, BJP holds 3 rallies in Haryana

Addressing the Gajpuri rally, Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar announced that the state government has given approval for metro connectivity from Ballabgarh to Palwal, which will ensure better connectivity and pace the development of the area.

He added that the central and state governments are taking remarkable steps towards ensuring inclusive development. Extending gratitude towards PM Narendra Modi, Khattar said big projects such as metro and national highways are coming up in Haryana with the help of the central government. He claimed that the BJP government has made unprecedented development in Palwal and Faridabad region. “With the coming of many major state highways, better connectivity has been facilitated. Development of Jewar airport in Uttar Pradesh will also pace industrialisation and other development works in the area. It is a matter of pride for the region that the Mumbai Expressway is also passing through these districts, which will connect the region with other parts of the country,” Khattar said.

Khattar added that the current state government is always executing development works in the spirit of Antyodaya and with the goal of public service. He said that the state government has eliminated corruption, fear and nepotism that was dominating during the Congress tenure.

Khattar said that when he meets villagers during his visits to different areas, they praise the schemes of the Haryana government. He added that his government gave jobs to people based on merit as he attacked the previous Congress regime for allegedly “distributing” jobs.

Khattar also attacked the Congress for the imposition of the Emergency on June 25 in 1975.

The Emergency remained an “unforgettable phase” in the history of the nation and it was “totally opposite” to the constitutional values, he said, adding, “People suffered torture in jails and did agitations for the restoration of democracy, we should remember all such warriors.” The CM said families with an income of less than Rs 1 lakh are considered as “antyodaya” families, while families with an annual income of Rs 1.80 lakh are considered as BPL families.

“Our focus is on providing facilities like education, employment, health and security to such families in order to connect them with the mainstream society,” he said, adding that his government was committed to ensure their overall development.

Speaking on this occasion, Union MoS Krishan Pal said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been working for the upliftment of every class for the last nine years as a “pradhan sevak”.

“India has made a different identity on the global stage under PM Modi. Today, the government is giving due respect to every class. Unmatched progress has been achieved in the whole country during the past nine years,” he added.
