The CM said that the previous Congress government gave only ₹1,100 crore as crop damage compensation to Haryana farmers during its 10 year-rule, while the BJP-led government has given ₹12,500 crore in the last nine-and-a-half years.

“When Bhupinder Singh Hooda was CM, farmers were given cheques of ₹2 and ₹5 as compensation. In contrast, our double-engine government provides cheques of ₹30,000, ₹40,000, and ₹50,000 for crop damage due to natural disasters,” said Saini, adding that Prime Minister Narendra Modi always thinks about the welfare of the poor, farmers, and marginalised sections.

Chandigarh The Haryana cabinet will meet under the chairmanship of chief minister Nayab Singh Saini on June 27 in the main committee room of the civil secretariat in Chandigarh, an official spokesperson said.
