Congress routinely blames EVMs, there is no cure for lies: Saini
Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini Wednesday took a jibe at Congress' Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi and said that Congress won 10 seats in the state by margins ranging from 100 to 1,000 votes. 'If there were any faults in the EVMs, they would not have won these seats. People should not be misled on the issue. Congress members should explain this to their leader Rahul Gandhi and get him treated, as there is no cure for.' Saini was interacting with the media persons after the Tiranga Yatra in Kurukshetra, Wednesday. The Development and Panchayats Minister Krishan Lal Panwar, Agriculture and Farmers & Welfare Minister Shyam Singh Rana, and Chairman Dharam Veer Mirzapur were also present on the occasion. 'Whenever election results are announced whether in the state or across the country, Congress routinely blames the EVMs. During this election, Congress leaders repeatedly claimed that if Narendra Modi became Prime Minister for a third term, the Constitution would be in danger. Rahul Gandhi and other leaders of the INDIA alliance campaigned using the Constitution as a symbol, but the people of the country rejected their false narratives. Instead, they elected Modi as PM. In Haryana too, the BJP formed the government for the third time in a row,' Saini said, adding that the Congress has no real issues left and is now frustrated. Prajapati community gets new identity CM Saini and his cabinet colleagues Wednesday distributed eligibility certificates to the members of Prajapati community across various parts of Haryana. The CM presided over the state-level function in Kurukshetra for distribution of these entitlement certificates to families belonging to Prajapati community. The programme was held simultaneously in all 22 districts and the certificates will benefit around 1,00,000 families with land entitlement certificates. Under the scheme, entitlement certificates have been issued in about 1,700 villages, granting the Prajapati community collective rights for soil excavation. A government spokesperson said, 'These certificates, issued under the Gram Shamlat Bhumi Niyamwali, 1964, not only grant the right to use the land but also provide legal authority to carry out their work without hindrance. This initiative will enable the Prajapati community to give a new direction to their art, help realise their dreams and allow them to manufacture products without having to travel far.' Describing the Prajapati community as hardworking, honest and skilled, Saini said that the art of making earthen pots has been an integral part of our cultural heritage. 'However, over time, this skill has not received the respect and opportunities the community deserves, and the necessary resources to connect the new generation with this art were not provided in time. Earlier, in every village, adequate land was available for the Prajapati community to source soil, but previous governments failed to address this need. During the Congress regime, even the workplaces of the Prajapati community were encroached upon. Not only that, those in power at the time conspired against the community and attempted to take away their livelihood. A superficial promise of allotting 100-square-yard plots in villages was made, but those plots were carved out from the very land where the Prajapati community earned their living. Such policies brought the employment of this community almost to a standstill.'

(Photo: X) Speaking to reporters after leading a Tiranga Yatra in Kurukshetra, Saini dismissed the Congress's repeated claims about faulty electronic voting machines (EVMs). 'Congress won 10 seats in Haryana by margins ranging from 100 to 1,000 votes. If the EVMs were faulty, how did they win these seats?' he asked. Cabinet ministers Krishan Lal Panwar and Shyam Singh Rana were also present. Saini urged the Congress not to mislead the public and remarked that party leaders should 'explain the truth to Rahul Gandhi and get him treated.' He further said that despite campaigning under the banner of the Constitution, the INDIA bloc was rejected by voters, who chose Narendra Modi as Prime Minister for a third consecutive term. 'In Haryana too, BJP has formed the government for the third time in a row,' he added. According to the CM, Congress's frustration stems from the BJP's development work and welfare measures such as Ayushman health cards, toilets in every home, ration distribution, and free gas cylinders under the Ujjwala Yojana. 'The party ruled for 55 years, but today it cannot digest the BJP's efforts to uplift the poor,' Saini said. Prajapati community land rights Earlier in the day, Saini chaired a state-level programme in Kurukshetra to distribute land entitlement certificates to families from the Prajapati community. The event was held simultaneously in all 22 districts, benefiting around 1,00,000 families across 1,700 villages. The certificates, issued under the Gram Shamlat Bhumi Niyamwali, 1964, grant the community collective rights to excavate soil, providing legal authority to continue their traditional craft without hindrance. Officials said this will enable artisans to work closer to home, modernise their methods, and enhance product quality to meet market demand. Saini urged the community to integrate traditional skills with new technology and take advantage of government schemes to boost both income and craftsmanship. The announcement fulfilled a promise he made during the Daksh Prajapati Jayanti celebrations in Bhiwani on July 13. Khattar takes part in Tiranga Yatra in Yamunanagar Union power minister and former Haryana chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Wednesday participated in the 'Tiranga Yatra' here, along with party workers and students of the Maharshi Dayanand University. He also urged the people to stay away from drugs and make their families drug-free. Addressing the gathering at MDU, Khattar appraised the students and teachers about the values, cultures and social concerns of importance in life. He called upon the youths to engage in social responsibilities. Speaking on the National Education Policy-2020, the former Haryana chief minister said that special emphasis has been given on nationalism, practical knowledge and social responsibility in the new education policy. He praised university employees and vice-chancellor Rajbir Singh for taking an initiative to work for a drug -free society.

Haryana govt grants land entitlement certificates to 1 lakh Prajapati community families
Saini was addressing a state-level function organised here for the distribution of land entitlement certificates, under the Gram Shamlat Bhumi Niyamwali, 1964 scheme, that grants the community collective rights for soil excavation and provide legal authority to carry out their work without hindrance. He urged them to adopt new techniques, make use of government schemes and enhance the quality and appeal of their products in line with market demand. Kurukshetra, Aug 13 (PTI) The Haryana government granted land entitlement certificates to around one lakh families of the Prajapati community on Wednesday, with Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini calling on the people of the community to strengthen their traditional art by integrating it with modern technology. The programme was held simultaneously in all 22 districts of the state, benefiting around one lakh families. The certificates have been issued in around 1,700 villages. This initiative will enable the community to give a new direction to their art, help realise their dreams and allow them to manufacture products without having to travel far, the chief minister said. On July 13, during the Daksh Prajapati Jayanti celebrations held in Bhiwani, Saini had pledged to provide land entitlement certificates to the Prajapati community. Describing the Prajapati community as hardworking, honest and skilled, the chief minister said that the art of making earthen pots has been an integral part of our cultural heritage. However, over time, their skill has lost the respect and opportunities it rightfully deserves as well as the necessary resources to connect with the new generation, he added. He also said that in every village, adequate land was available for the Prajapati community to source soil, but previous governments failed to address this need. During the Congress regime, even the workplaces of the community were encroached upon. He further claimed that, those in power at the time conspired against the community and attempted to take away their livelihood. A superficial promise of allotting 100-square-yard plots in villages was made, but those plots were carved out from the very land where the Prajapati community earned their living, bringing their employment to a standstill, he said. In line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's mantra of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas', the Haryana government is consistently working to provide respect and growth opportunities to every community in the state, he added. The present government aims to not only to provide land to the Prajapati community, but also create an ecosystem where their skills can flourish even further, Saini said. While highlighting various schemes being implemented by the state government for the upliftment and welfare of backward classes, the chief minister said a 'Mati Kala Board' has been constituted to promote artisans engaged in making clay utensils and artistic items, and incentives are being provided to them. He informed that the annual income limit of the creamy layer for backward classes has been raised from Rs 6 lakh to Rs 8 lakh. Additionally, an 8 per cent representation has been granted to Backward Class 'A' in Panchayati Raj Institutions. Development and Panchayats Minister, Krishan Lal Panwar said that Prime Minister Modi and Chief Minister Saini have are farsighted to take the art of the Prajapati community beyond villages and showcase it in international markets. Continuous efforts are being made in this direction, he said, adding that auspicious occasions traditionally begin with lamps made by the community which reflects the cultural and artistic significance of their craft.
