The Haryana government has devised plans to strengthen the cooperative societies that, during the Congress regime, had lost the trust of the farmers, for whose welfare they were formed, state Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini said, assuring that his government would work to restore the trust.
The process of enrolling new members will begin soon. 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 on Wednesday.
On the Congress leadership’s decision to appoint former chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda as the leader of the Opposition, extending congratulations to both Hooda and Rahul Gandhi, Saini questioned the delay. He wondered why the Opposition party took so long to announce the decision it had already taken in favour of Hooda.
Taking a jibe at the Congress, Saini said their policies are flawed, 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 Narendra Modi, saying the prime minister has always empowered the poor while Congress and the INDIA bloc have only focused on strengthening themselves.
The chief minister further informed that the Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah would visit Haryana on October 3. He will attend programmes in Kurukshetra and Rohtak. Preparations for these events have been completed, he added.
