Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh-
Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini said that the government has formulated plans to strengthen cooperative societies formed for the welfare of farmers. He said that the cooperative societies had lost the trust of farmers during the Congress regime, but the present state government will work to restore this trust back. The process of enrolling new members will begin soon, and this will also be facilitated online to ensure that farmers receive timely benefits, said the Chief Minister while addressing a press conference at Haryana Niwas here today.
Responding to a question regarding the Congress leadership’s decision to appoint former CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda as Leader of the Opposition, the Chief Minister extended congratulations to both Hooda and Rahul Gandhi, but questioned the delay, asking, if the decision was to appoint Bhupinder Hooda only, why did it take them so long?
Taking a jibe at Congress, Saini said their policies are flawed and they have no real concern for public welfare. In response to another question, he said that Congress has always been a party of factions and internal rifts. He contrasted this with the leadership of Prime Minister, Sh. Narendra Modi, saying that the Prime Minister has always empowered the poor, while Congress and the INDIA bloc have only focused on strengthening themselves.
Preparations completed for Union Home Minister’s visit
The Chief Minister further informed that the Union Home and Cooperation Minister, Amit Shah will visit Haryana on October 3 for a one-day tour. He will attend programmes in Kurukshetra and Rohtak. He added that preparations for these events have been completed.
