CHANDIGARH, MARCH 2
The Haryana Chief Minister, Mr. Bhupinder Singh Hooda, has assured the people of Haryana that he will do everything under the sun to get them their share of water from the Bhakra Dam for which the Hansi-Butana Canal has already been dug. "Some vested interests are plotting to derail our plan to get water to Haryana through the Hansi-Butana Canal but I would ensure that they do not succeed in their designs", he added.
He gave this assurance while addressing a gathering after laying the foundation stones and inaugurating various projects at Ismaila village in Rohtak District, today. The canal has been dug to ensure that Haryana's share of water from Bhakra Dam reaches every part of the state, he said.
The Chief Minister said that when he became an MP, he assured the people of the area that he would never compromise on the interests of the state. "The people of the state are with me and I will fulfill every promise I made to them", he added.
Before the Congress came to power, the area was backward. The people of the state gave him a chance to remove backwardness. "When the Congress came to power in 2005 and I became the Chief Minister, people said my government won't last long. But with the blessings of the UPA Chairperson, Mrs. Sonia Gandhi, and cooperation of the people, my government has lasted full term and performed excellently", Mr Hooda said.
In 2009 when the Congress got 40 seats in the Assembly, some people criticized him. "But I converted 40 seats into 54 seats, and since then have been running the government and taken numerous decisions for the welfare of the people. "If people continue to support us the Congress will surely form government for the third consecutively term in Haryana", he said.
Mr Hooda said that from 1999 to 2004, the state had INLD-BJP Government. The Minimum Support Price of wheat was Rs 550 per quintal in the state in 1999 and Rs 630 in 2004. The INLD-BJP Government increased the MSP by only Rs 80. "The MSP of wheat has been increased every year after the formation of the Congress Government. It has been increased to Rs 770 during the last nine years and is the highest in the country", Mr Hooda said.
Similarly, the old age pension was only Rs 200 per month in 1999. The previous government had announced its decision to increase it to Rs 300 but it remained an announcement. "We raised the old age pension to Rs 300. Now, Old Age, Disability and Widow Pension is Rs 1,000 per month in the state which is the highest in the country", Mr Hooda added.
The Chief Minister said that many announcements were made for the welfare of the people at the Gohana Rally on November 10, 2013 which had since been implemented from January 1, 2014. The state government has started a scheme for farmers and labourers to provide compensation of Rs 5 lakh in case of death at work. Similarly, compensation ranging from Rs 20,000 to Rs 50,000 is given in case of death of milch cattle.
The state government has also decided to give compensation of Rs 3,000 in case of death of goat. The state government also waived off electricity bills of farmers worth Rs 1600 crore. The black laws of cooperative banks have also been abolished by the Congress Government, he added.
Mr Hooda said that the state government had worked for the welfare of every community in the state. It has been making efforts to ensure that no poor children was deprived of education due to financial problems faced by the family. The state government has been paying stipend ranging from Rs 75 to Rs 600 per month to about 20 lakh students in the state.
Mr Hooda said that plots of 100 square yards each had been allotted free of cost to poor and needy people. Also, financial assistance is given to eligible poor families for the construction of houses. All round developenmt has taken place in the state during the last nine years.
Mr Hooda said that with elections round the corner, many people would try to mislead the people. But facts speak for themselves. When Congress came into power in 2005, the crop loan was 14 per cent which has been decreased to four per cent. So much so, even the Central Government has reduced the interest on crop laons to four per cent on his recommendations. A working group had been constituted under his chairmanship with chief ministers of Punjab, Bihar and West Bengal along with Haryana for improving the conditions of the farmers. "We recommended to provide 50 per cent profit on crop cost to ensure the farmers remunerative prices. I also suggested paying subsidy directly to the farmers", the Chief Minister added.
