Promises of Sankalp Patra being fulfilled: Saini

Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, accompanied by his wife Suman Saini, today offered prayers at the Mata Mansa Devi Temple in Panchkula on the occasion of the New Year. He also interacted with devotees present at the temple. Speaking to mediapersons on the occasion, the Chief Minister (CM) extended New Year greetings to the people of the state, while expressing hope that the year would bring economic and social prosperity to all residents.

Saini said in 2025, Haryana would reach new heights of development. He said the BJP government had made several commitments in its Sankalp Patra during the elections, and work was being done gradually to fulfil them. He said significant progress had already been made in implementing many of these promises, and the remaining ones will also be completed soon. Saini said upon forming the government, the first step was to provide jobs to 24,000 youth without “kharchi, parchi”. Besides, the government had introduced free dialysis facilities in all civil hospitals and medical colleges, for the benefit of lakhs of kidney patients across the state, he said.

He also highlighted the government’s initiative in granting ownership rights to tenant farmers in Haryana. Addressing the issue of farmers, Saini said the Supreme Court had set up a committee to engage with farmers, and this panel was in constant communication with them.

He assured that the Haryana Government was purchasing all crops from the state’s farmers at the minimum support price (MSP). A resolution had been passed in the Vidhan Sabha to ensure the procurement of all crops at the MSP, he said.

Regarding the recent rains and hailstorms, the CM said it had been decided to get farmers registered on the kshatipurti portal immediately so that proper compensation for the loss suffered by them could be given on time. Over the past decade, the government had directly deposited Rs 13,500 crores in farmers’ accounts as compensation for various losses, he added.

The CM said the government was working diligently under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. However, he pointed out that many political parties had exploited the issue of farmers for political gains without taking any real decisions in their favour. He also shared plans to introduce new schemes aimed at promoting crop diversification. These initiatives would help farmers benefit more from natural farming practices.
