Speaking on this occasion, Sh. Manohar Lal said that the manner in which the Speaker Vidhan Sabha, Sh. Gian Chand Gupta has conducted the House proceedings during these three glorious years is really commendable.

Regulating the debates and proceedings of the House in an unbiased manner is certainly not a simple task, but Sh. Gian Chand Gupta while rising above the party’s ideology has always ensured to give equal chance to the leaders of both Ruling and the Opposition party, added Sh. Manohar Lal. 

He said that as the Speaker of the Assembly, Sh. Gian Chand Gupta conducted the Assembly in a dignified and constitutional manner.

At present, in the first year, the proceedings of the Vidhan Sabha will be conducted in both ways, but in the coming years, the State Vidhan Sabha will be made completely paperless. This move of making Assembly paperless is a big change in itself.

Many revolutionary changes were brought in the State Assembly

The Chief Minister said that various  changes have been brought in the Vidhan Sabha. A new food arrangement for the MLAs has been made in the Vidhan Sabha wherein the MLAs can pay Rs.100 to eat food. Apart from this, the timing of the proceedings of the House has also been changed. Now the proceedings of the House begin at 11:00 am and continue till the completion of legislative business in the evening.

He said that in these 3 years another new tradition was started. During the budget session, a holiday was observed in the house for 4 days so that the MLAs could read the budget well in advance and during these 4 days, suggestions were also taken from MLAs of both the ruling party and opposition.

Steps taken towards construction of new building of State Vidhan Sabha

The Chief Minister said that the Speaker has also made efforts for the construction of a new building of the State Vidhan Sabha. Now the site for the building has been earmarked and consent has been given for the same. The new building will be constructed soon after completing the necessary procedures.

Many first-of-its-kind initiatives introduced in the Assembly, Speaker

Speaking on the occasion, Sh. Gian Chand Gupta expressed gratitude to the Chief Minister for releasing the Coffee Table Book. 

In these three years, the legislators of both the ruling party and the opposition have played an instrumental role in the smooth functioning of the House, implementing new initiatives for the betterment functioning of the Assembly, added Sh. Gian Chand Gupta. 

He said that new initiatives were introduced to maintain the dignity of the House. The questions to be asked during the Question Hour are selected through draw of lots. Similarly, by changing the Punjab Legislative Assembly rules, new rules of the Haryana Legislative Assembly were introduced. Besides this, the statue of Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar was also unveiled in the premises of Haryana Vidhan Sabha.

He said that provision has also been made for the legislators to get questions and bills well in time. Now questions and Bills are given to the MLAs almost five days prior to the session, so that the MLAs can read them well in time.

Since 2014, the Double engine government has certainly doubled Haryana’s growth pace. In all these eight years, the State has not only set a record in terms of implementing several first-of-its-kind development reforms but has also placed Haryana as one of the prominent state of the country in terms of infrastructural development.

        The credit for this success certainly goes to the visionary thinking of the Chief Minister, Sh. Manohar Lal. The Chief Minister not only increased the fund allocation for the development of infrastructure but set up various new developmental projects so as to ensure the holistic development of Haryana.

        “We don’t just promise, we deliver. Our government is giving special focus to the overall development of the state by bringing in radical changes. In today’s era, Haryana has become prominent state of the country in terms of infrastructural development,” believes Sh. Manohar Lal.

        The Chief Minister, who is also the Finance Minister of Haryana, while bringing in a policy change had created a Medium Term Expenditure Reserve Fund of Rs 8,700 crore so as to ensure the smooth execution of long-term projects.

        The budget allocation is done on an annual basis and many projects are of long duration, which takes more than a year to complete. Our government has accepted the fact that many projects, especially those related to infrastructure, require continuous support of budget. Therefore, a Reserve Fund has been created for such projects by making provision for medium-term expenditure structure to avoid delay in the completion of projects due to budget allocation on annual basis, says Sh. Manohar Lal.

59 ROBs and RUBs already constructed, 40 in progress

        From time to time, the Manohar Lal-led government is ensuring the construction of Railway Over Bridges (ROBs) or Railway Under Bridges (RUBs). In the last 8 years, railway mapping has been done and such places have been identified where there is a need for ROB / RUB. During the tenure of the present State Government, 59 ROBs or RUBs have been constructed and construction of 40 ROBs / RUBs is in progress.

Roads to prosperity

        The Chief Minister firmly believes that the economic development of any state clearly depends on the connectivity of its regions, while realizing the same the State Government has taken concrete steps to strengthen the road network across the State. Whatever projects Haryana has proposed to the Central government, the Centre has immediately shown the green signal to the same.

        Till now, 17 new National Highways have been declared in Haryana, out of which work on 7 has been completed and work on 10 is in progress. Not only this, 18,470 km of roads have been improved with an investment of Rs 7717 crore.
