Haryana Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini said the problem of flood situation in Punjab has to be faced together and Haryana stands with Punjab in this crisis. Relief material is being sent to the flood-affected districts of Punjab.
The Chief Minister was interacting with journalists here today.
Replying to a question regarding the flood situation in Haryana, Sh. Nayab Singh Saini said that the State Government is constantly monitoring the situation after the rains. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi, the double-engine government is working in the interests of farmers. Earlier also, compensation was given to farmers by the government. This time too, the affected farmers will be compensated.
He said that the government is with the people of the state. The e-Kshatipurti portal has been opened for the affected farmers. Through this portal, 1,69,738 farmers from 2,897 villages of the state have registered for more than 9.96 lakh acres. After verification, further action will be taken in this regard.
*Congress trying to find ground*
Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini targeted Congress, saying their political ground has slipped away. That is why first they raised questions on EVMs, then claimed that the Constitution and democracy are in danger, and now they are talking about vote theft. The Chief Minister said that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi talks about stolen votes while showing empty pockets in Parliament, but the truth is that the pocket of Congress is empty because of their own deeds. The public has now understood their reality. Today, the Congress has no issues and is directionless. It is only trying to search for political ground. The Prime Minister has taken many pro-people decisions, but neither Congress nor the INDIA alliance has praised even one of them. This shows their mindset.
*Rebate up to Rs 12 lakh and now GST changes in public interest*
The Chief Minister said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi, many decisions have been taken for the poor. In the Union Budget, rebate has been given on income slabs up to ₹12 lakh, and now changes have been made in GST slabs providing big relief to the common people. Both the central and state governments are working to give relief to the poor and the general public. The new GST slab has given relief to every section.
On this occasion, Chief Principal Secretary to the Chief Minister Sh. Rajesh Khullar, Excise and Taxation Commissioner Sh. Vinay Pratap Singh, Director General of Information, Public Relations, Languages and Culture Department Sh. K. Makarand Pandurang, and Media Secretary to the Chief Minister Sh. Praveen Attrey were present.
