No meaningful work done for people by AAP govt in Punjab: Haryana CM Saini

Chandigarh: Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini lashed out at the AAP government in Punjab on Saturday, alleging that it has not done any meaningful work for the welfare of people. Saini further claimed that the Bhagwant Mann government in Punjab "no longer enjoys any public support" and said in the June 19 Ludhiana West Assembly bypoll , people will decide in the right direction. Saini visited Sangrur on Saturday to condole the death of veteran Akali leader and former Union minister Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa . He met Dhindsa's son and former Punjab finance minister Parminder Singh Dhindsa and expressed his grief. Talking to reporters in Sangrur, the Haryana chief minister alleged that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Punjab was formed on a "foundation of lies". "This government has neither done any meaningful work for the welfare of people nor does it have the will to work. Now, the people of Punjab have understood this truth," he claimed. Live Events The Mann government has "completely failed" to fulfil the promises it had made to people during elections, Saini said. He said the AAP has been exposed in Delhi, because "lies do not last long". "It no longer has any public support in Punjab and in the Ludhiana West bypoll, people will decide in the right direction," he said. Saini launched an attack on Punjab Chief Minister Mann, saying he should work for the welfare of people rather than indulging in "theatrics". Referring to the Ludhiana West bypoll, he said the voters have made up their mind that Punjab should also move ahead at a fast pace under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership. The bypoll to the Ludhiana West Assembly seat in Punjab is scheduled to be held on June 19 and the counting of the votes will be taken up on June 23. The Ludhiana West seat fell vacant following AAP MLA Gurpreet Bassi Gogi's death in January. Saini accused the AAP government of not implementing the Centre's welfare schemes in Punjab and depriving people of their benefits. Talking about the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in Haryana, Saini said for the last 11 years, public welfare schemes are being implemented effectively under the leadership of Modi. He said the Haryana government is purchasing all crops from farmers at the Minimum Support Price (MSP). Similarly, the Punjab government should also worry about the farmers of the state and give them a fair price for their crops, he said. Saini said in the event of crop loss due to natural calamities, the Haryana government has provided a total compensation amount of more than Rs 15,500 crore to farmers in the last 10 years. Besides, vegetable-growing farmers are being given relief under the "Bhavantar Bharpai Yojana", he added. The people of Haryana are also getting the benefits of the Ayushman Bharat Yojana , while the people of Punjab are being deprived of those, he said.

55 Years of Congress Misrule Behind Farmers' Plight, Says Haryana Chief Minister

Kurukshetra (Haryana) [India], May 30 (ANI): Haryana Chief Minister,Nayab Singh Saini criticized the Congress, saying the party that enjoyed the pleasures of power for 55 years is responsible for the poor condition of farmers. In contrast, since taking charge as the 'Pradhan Sevak' of the country in 2014, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has not only consistently empowered and strengthened farmers but also considered them an important pillar of a 'Viksit Bharat' (Developed India) and worked to make them self-reliant. He was addressing farmers from across the state at the launch of the 'Viksit Krishi Sankalp Abhiyan' held at Kurukshetra University in district Kurukshetra on Thursday. Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare Minister, Shyam Singh Rana was also present at the event. He said that under Prime Minister Modi's leadership, the central government recently announced an increase in the Minimum Support Price (MSP) for crops, and he expressed gratitude for this decision. Targeting Congress, he said that during elections, Congress leaders tried to mislead farmers by saying that if Narendra Modi became Prime Minister, the MSP would be discontinued. According to the release, however, the reality is that since 2014, the Prime Minister has continually increased MSP in favor of farmers. The opposition should introspect before questioning the government on farmer welfare and refrain from making statements that harm farmers, said Saini. Nayab Singh Saini said that during Congress rule, Rs 7.41 lakh crore was given for MSP of crops, while the Modi government, in 10 years, provided Rs 23.61 lakh crore. Until 2014, Congress gave Rs 2.56 lakh crore MSP for wheat, while the Modi government has given Rs 5.65 lakh crore for wheat since then. Similarly, Congress gave Rs 1,900 crore for pulses, whereas the present government has provided Rs 98,000 crore. For oilseeds, Congress gave Rs 9,000 crore as MSP, while the Modi government transferred Rs 65,000 crore directly to farmers' accounts. For crops like cotton etc., Congress gave Rs 26,000 crore, while the present government has given Rs 1.33 lakh crore, informed the Chief Minister. He said that these figures clearly show that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has consistently worked to empower farmers and increase their income. The Chief Minister said that the Haryana Government is also working continuously for the welfare of farmers. Haryana is the first state in the country to decide to purchase all crops at MSP. To shield farmers from market risks, the Bhavantar Bharpai Yojana was launched, under which around Rs 111 crore has been disbursed to farmers. Under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) Yojana, Rs 6,563 crore has been transferred to the accounts of around 20 lakh farmers in Haryana. Through the e-Kharid portal, Rs 1.48 lakh crore has been transferred to 12 lakh farmers for crop purchases at MSP over the last 10 seasons, saidNayab Singh Saini. He said that being the son of a farmer, he has worked in the fields and understands the struggles of the working class. For him, the welfare of farmers is paramount. Expressing his gratitude to the Prime Minister, he said only the Prime Minister could entrust a farmer's son with the responsibility of the state. During Congress rule, farmers were given compensation cheques of Rs 2 and Rs 5. Nayab Singh Saini said that everyone remembers the time before 2014 in Haryana when farmers received cheques of Rs 2 and Rs 5 as compensation for crop damage due to natural disasteRs The present state government, in contrast, has provided much higher compensation. He said that while senior Congress leaders remain silent in public, they are active on social media. They should recall that during 10 years of Congress rule, only Rs 1,155 crore was given as compensation to farmers, whereas the present state government has disbursed Rs 15,145 crore in the last 10 years. Recently, for farmers affected by fire damage to their crops, the government provided compensation at the rate of Rs 30,000 per acre. Every step of this government, he said, is aimed at strengthening the farmer. (ANI)
