*Cabinet Minister Sh. Krishan Kumar Bedi takes charge in presence of CM Sh. Nayab Singh Saini*
*Double engine govt will ensure development in Haryana: CM Sh. Nayab Singh Saini*
Chandigarh, October 21- Sh. Krishan Kumar Bedi, Minister for Social Justice, Empowerment, Scheduled Castes and Backward Classes Welfare and Antyodaya (SEWA), took charge of his office in the presence of Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini at the Civil Secretariat in Chandigarh today. On this occasion, the Chief Minister congratulated Sh. Krishan Kumar Bedi and offered him sweets.
Talking to mediapersons on this occasion, the Chief Minister expressed gratitude to the people of Haryana for giving majority to the BJP for the third time. He said the double engine government under the leadership of Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi will take the state forward in development. Departments have been allocated to all the ministers in Haryana. He said we will live up to the expectations with which the people of Haryana gave majority to the BJP by working hard. He said all the MLAs will be sworn in on October 25.
Responding to questions of mediapersons on the occasion, Sh. Nayab Singh Saini said it is unfortunate that the Congress is creating obstacles in giving jobs to the youth on merit. The ‘stop-recruitment gang’ is sponsored by the Congress. The people have rejected the Congress and this gang, he said.
Responding to the allegations made by Delhi Chief Minister Smt. Atishi, the Chief Minister said the Aam Aadmi Party government only makes false allegations. Sh. Arvind Kejriwal used to claim that he would clean the Yamuna, whereas today even after 10 years, he is only making allegations. They should look into their own affairs and give an account of the Rs 6,000 crore given by the Central Government to the Delhi Government. Making allegations is in the DNA of the Aam Aadmi Party, the Chief Minister said.
Sh. Nayab Singh Saini said when Smt. Atishi became the Chief Minister of Delhi, he had advised her not to follow the path of Sh. Arvind Kejriwal but she is also following his path and levelling false allegations. Just like the Congress, the Aam Aadmi Party is also resorting to lies.
Responding to a question on stubble burning, the Chief Minister said the Supreme Court had praised Haryana in stubble management, asking Punjab to learn from Haryana. The Haryana Government has done a very good job in stubble management. Farmers are being given an incentive of Rs 1,000 per acre for this. Also, equipment is being provided to farmers on subsidy for stubble management. The Chief Minister appealed to the farmers not to burn stubble, as this not only causes pollution but also affects the fertility of the soil.
After taking charge, Sh. Krishan Kumar Bedi thanked the Chief Minister and said we will fulfil the promises made in the BJP's Sankalp Patra under the leadership of the Chief Minister. Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare Minister Sh. Shyam Singh Rana was also present on the occasion.
