Haryana chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Thursday slammed the opposition parties for criticising his government for introducing various online portals for welfare schemes.
On the second day of his Jan Samvad programme in Hisar, chief minister Khattar said that he has introduced various online portals to provide benefits of government schemes to eligible beneficiaries.
“The opposition parties assert that they will dismantle this portal system if they return to power. This shows that they neither want development of the state nor welfare of the public,” the CM added.
Addressing the gathering at Mirzapur village in Barwala assembly segment, Khattar said that his government believes in empowering youths to become self-reliant instead of offering freebies.
“The Aam Aadmi party (AAP) wants to make entry into the state politics on the Sutlej Yamuna Link Canal issue, but the Haryana residents will not allow their nefarious designs to succeed. AAP leaders talk about offering free services to the people, but the public knows their agenda,” he added.
Targeting the previous Congress and INLD governments, Khattar alleged that jobs were given through recommendations and financial influence, but the BJP has changed the system and gave jobs on merit basis.
To boost self-employment opportunities for women, the chief minister said that counter facilities will be made available at the district headquarters to provide a bigger market to the products made by the self-help groups (SHGs).
