Chandigarh, August 8- Haryana Social Justice, Empowerment, SCs & BCs Welfare and Antyodaya (SEWA) Minister, Sh. Krishan Kumar Bedi, said that both the Central and State Governments are continuously undertaking historic work for public welfare. The government has launched several schemes to benefit every section of society. Unprecedented facilities are being provided in the state such as 24-hour electricity supply, free treatment for the poor under the Ayushman Bharat Yojana, and payment to farmers within 24 hours after crop procurement at MSP, he said.
The Cabinet Minister was addressing a public meeting during a ‘Dhanyawadi Daura’ in Fulian Kalan village, Narwana Assembly Constituency. He inaugurated a newly constructed street built at a cost of Rs. 27.43 lakh under Panchayati Raj. He said the government’s main objective is the holistic development of villages and cities and to meet the basic needs of the people.
The Minister said that the welfare and poverty alleviation decisions taken by the state government have led to the people of the country and the state once again reposing their faith in Prime Minister, Sh. Narendra Modi and Chief Minister, Sh. Nayab Singh Saini.
Listening to the villagers’ demands, the minister announced development works worth about Rs. 3 crore for the village. He said that a shed will be constructed for children in the middle school, and a modern stadium will be built in the village. The village perimeter road (phirni) will be paved along with other streets and farm roads.
The Minister assured the fulfilment of several demands presented by the Gram Panchayat and directed departmental officers to prepare estimates for all the development works.
Taking a jibe at the opposition’s indifferent attitude towards the public, the Minister said that opposition leaders are only interested in vote-bank politics and have no concern for public welfare. The common people now understand their ploys well and have completely rejected them. Seeing their political ground slipping, opposition leaders indulge in absurd statements every day just to stay in the newspapers.
