Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar today claimed that the demonetisation was an attack on the parallel economy of black money and corruption and urged the people to go for cashless transactions to bring transparency and curb the evil practices of tax evasion in trading.

The Chief Minister was addressing a Vikas rally for the Baroda Assembly constituency at Gohana in the district this evening. He said that the government had decided to make the state kerosene free by March 2017 as around 6 lakh LPG cylinders would be issued to the needy persons in the state.

Reiterating his commitment for equal development of all areas in the state, the Chief Minister said that with extension of Metro services up to Kundli and construction of the KMP and KGP expressways on war footing, Sonepat was poised to be become one of most developed areas like Gurugram and Faridabad in the state.

The Chief Minister claimed that the state government had brought transparency while making recruitment in the government services and the recent release of the HCS selection list was its example. “The process for filling up around 50,000 posts in different government departments is under progress,” he added.

In order to give boost to industrial development in the state, Khattar said the government had already signed around 550 MoUs involving an investment of over Rs 7 lakh crore. “By making an increase of around 20 per cent, annual budget of the state has been set at around Rs 88,000 crore,” he said.

Urban local Bodies Minister Kavita Jain and Sonepat MP Ramesh Kaushik also spoke on the occasion.

Referring to the demands raised by rally convener Baljit Singh Malik, the Chief Minister accepted the demands involving estimated expenditure of around Rs 135 crore. Earlier, the Chief Minister inaugurated a solid and liquid waste management plant constructed at a cost of Rs 40 lakh at Gangeshar village in the district.
