Minimum wages raised by up to 72%

Transparency in government job recruitments has curtailed corruption to a large extent. During the previous government, corruption in job selections was the order of the day. I will not say that we have been 100 per cent successful in our efforts to eradicate corruption, yet there is no corruption at the political and senior bureaucracy level. Similarly, equal development in all 90 Assembly constituencies is what even the Opposition does not dispute. During previous governments, development was visible in only some areas represented by ruling party MLAs while our government is pursuing ‘Sab ka saath, sab ka vikas’ in letter and in spirit. During the previous Congress regime, even its party MLAs and MPs alleged a step-motherly treatment in development works. However, during the last four years, Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar has visited all 90 Assembly constituencies and ensured equal development everywhere irrespective of which party MLAs represent the areas. Even opposition party MLAs acknowledge equitable development works initiated by the Chief Minister. In fact, the Chief Minister had accepted all demands of Jind INLD legislator late Hari Chand Middha in the true spirit of the ‘Sab ka saath, sab ka vikas’ mantra.
The BJP formed the government in Haryana for the first time. Besides, it also won seven out of the 10 Lok Sabha seats in the 2014 parliamentary elections. Unprecedented development works undertaken by the BJP government under the leadership of Manohar Lal Khattar have unnerved other political parties. The INLD-BSP alliance seems to be a short-term arrangement, as BSP chief Mayawati is more inclined towards the Congress at the national level. In fact, the support base of the INLD is fast eroding, forcing it to go for an alliance with an ideologically-different political party. Past experience tells that they cannot work on a long-term basis. Similarly, the state Congress is divided into several factions, which are working at cross-purposes. In fact, various Congress leaders are trying to undermine each other’s influence in their areas. Besides, people still remember various acts of omission and commission of both INLD and Congress during their regimes. Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has no mass base in the state. The BJP is comfortably placed in the state with regard to both Lok Sabha and Assembly elections due next year. People want a stable government that does not indulge in nepotism and regionalism. People want a government which works with the objective “Haryana ek, Haryanvi ek”. While other political parties are yet to get their acts together, the BJP is ready for the elections whenever they are held.
