Chandigarh, July 14: Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Sunday said the "double-engine government" of the Centre and the state in the past ten years has taken initiatives to deliver welfare schemes to the common man, reaching the last person standing in the queue.

"The positive impact of these schemes is evident as even the poorest individuals now have smiles on their faces and are receiving the benefits of welfare schemes," he said while addressing a public gathering after unveiling the statue of Veer Shiromani Maharana Pratap in Bhaira Bankipur village in the Rai constituency of Sonipat district. Salary Hike for Government Employees: Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini Announces Salary Hike of 119,861 Employees by 8%; Check Details, Eligibility.

On this occasion, he also inaugurated and laid the foundation stones for 14 development projects of Rs 112 crore. The Chief Minister said before 2014 governments only made announcements without implementing them.

"The government used to show dreams to the people, but those promises did not materialise in reality. Earlier, there was a crisis for electricity in the state, but the present government has reformed the system to ensure 24-hour power supply to the people." He also highlighted that the Centre has provided government jobs to 1.5 lakh people. Haryana CM Nayab Singh Inaugurates, Lays Foundation Stone of Various Development Projects at Manesar in Gurugram.

"Before 2014, the elderly received a mere Rs 500 as a pension, but after coming to power the government increased it to Rs 1,000. Today, 20 lakh eligible beneficiaries in the state are receiving an Old-Age Samman Allowance of Rs 3,000," he said.

He said under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the country is functioning according to the Constitution and is progressing. "Every needy person is being provided with facilities, which the Opposition cannot digest. They are misleading people with lies," he added.
