CM Nayab Saini hit backs at Congress leaders on procurement; assures that every grain will be procured at MSP

In a counter-attack on Congress leaders who have been visiting grain markets to highlight procurement problems, Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini said Congress leaders should visit Congress-governed states like Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka and Telangana to assess whether their governments had fulfilled electoral promises, instead of visiting grain markets in Haryana to ‘mislead farmers’.

He assured that every grain would be procured at Minimum Support Price (MSP).

Addressing the Viksit Dadri rally in Charkhi Dadri today, the CM said while the Opposition only indulged in allegations, the state government had a clear ‘report card’ of development and fulfilment of promises. He said the government had recently fulfilled its commitment towards workers by increasing monthly wages to Rs 19,425.

Meanwhile, Saini inaugurated and laid the foundation stone of 43 development projects worth over Rs 540 crore during the rally. Describing Charkhi Dadri as a land of pride and bravery, he said the region had a glorious history of contribution in the 1857 freedom struggle, the national freedom movement, and wars against China and Pakistan.

Saini said over the past 11 years, 271 announcements had been made for the constituency, of which 201 had been completed. Development works worth Rs 1,364.60 crore had been executed in the region.

He also announced the construction of 21 sports stadiums across 12 districts, upgrade of key roads, including the Jhajjar-Charkhi Dadri four-lane corridor and new jail infrastructure, including district jails and a high-security prison in Rohtak.

The Chief Minister assured that every grain produced by farmers would be procured at MSP. He said Haryana is the first state in the country to procure all crops at MSP and criticised the Opposition for attempting to mislead farmers by visiting mandis.
