In a state where former chief ministers have been jailed for corruption, the BJP government under the leadership of Manohar Lal Khattar has delivered squeaky clean governance in Haryana, BJP chief Amit Shah said on Thursday.

Addressing the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) ‘Yuva Hunkar Rally’ at Pandu Pindara village in Jind district, Shah promised that the BJP will ensure ‘sabka vikas’ (development for all castes and communities).

“ML Khattar has ensured that corruption free governance in Haryana. In this state, former chief ministers have been jailed for corruption but now there is a CM under whom not a single scam has surfaced,” Shah said.

The BJP president pointed out that Haryana was infamous for corruption and maladministration in the tenure of previous governments but the BJP regime is clean and has instead made serious efforts to help farmers and the downtrodden.

Thousands of security personnel, including Haryana Police and para-military forces, kept a strict watch at the rally venue, areas surrounding it and Jind district and nearby areas.

BJP ministers and legislators arrived at the venue on motorcycles. The state BJP had asked workers to come to the rally on bikes.

The opposition Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) had threatened to show black flags to the BJP president over the issue of non-construction of the SYL (Sutlej-Yamuna Link) canal and failure of the BJP to fulfil the promises made to the people of Haryana.

The police detained INLD leaders and workers in some districts to prevent them from reaching the rally venue, about 200 km from here.

Haryana Congress President Ashok Tanwar was also detained in Jind town as he was planning to hold a protest.
