Haryana Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini said the central and state governments are true well-wishers of farmers. This is proven by the fact that all crops of farmers in Haryana are being purchased on MSP and in the last 10 and a half years, the government has given Rs 14500 crore to farmers for crop loss, whereas before 2014, during the Congress government, only Rs 1155 crore were given to farmers as crop loss compensation.
The previous Congress government in Punjab and now the current Aam Aadmi Party government have never taken care of the farmers nor have they purchased the crops of farmers on MSP. When a BJP government is formed in Punjab in 2027, all crops of farmers will be purchased on MSP on the lines of Haryana.
The Chief Minister said this during a programme organized in Dera Bassi, Punjab where he was invited as the chief guest today. Former Union Minister Preneet Kaur, Rajya Sabha member Sh. Satnam Sandhu, Sh. Gurdarshan Singh Saini, former Speaker of Haryana Assembly Sh. Gian Chand Gupta, Sh. Sanjeev Vashisht and other dignitaries were present on the occasion.
The Chief Minister said under the table leadership of Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi, India has emerged as a strong and powerful country in the world today. In Haryana too, the government has considered honesty, transparency and service as its basic mantra. The politics of casteism, appeasement and dynasty was ended due to which the people of the state formed the BJP government for the third time.
Today, a responsible and sensitive non-stop government is working in Haryana. He said as soon as the third term of the BJP government started in Haryana, 26,000 youth were given government jobs without ‘parchi-kharchi’. He said Haryana is among the leading states of the country in national highways, industry, digital services, skill development for youth, women safety and welfare of farmers.
He said Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi had announced that elderly people above 70 years of age will get free treatment under the Ayushman Yojana. The Haryana Government has given the benefit of this scheme to the elderly of the state. He said by linking public service with technology, more than 52 lakh families in Haryana are being given direct benefit of more than 400 schemes and services at home through the Parivar Pehchan Patra.
This is a unique initiative in itself. Similarly, the Haryana Government has given respect to the elderly by increasing the social security pension to Rs 3000. On the formation of BJP government in Punjab, people will be given the benefit of public welfare schemes on the lines of Haryana.
He said under the ‘Mhara Gaon-Jagmag Gaon’ scheme in Haryana, 5878 villages are also being given 24-hour electricity on the lines of cities. If BJP government is formed in Punjab, 24 hours electricity will be provided to people. On reaching the function, Sh. Nayab Singh Saini was given a warm welcome and honoured with a memento.
