Referring to goons who are out in Haryana to vacate homes forcefully, he said I want to serve you, but even a police man would not listen to me because Haryana government is governed by Congress.

Modi said Hindustan’s Gaurav has increased not because of Modi, but because of people who elected stable government in Delhi with clear majority. If people of Haryana wish for progress of Haryana, the first condition is Congress-free Haryana, second condition is stable government with clear majority and third condition is to bring such government that may allow Modi to serve the state. Modi asked people to elect BJP government in Haryana with clear majority. He said the party needs opportunity to develop Haryana.

Modi also spoke about government’s Jan Dhan Yojana initiative. Modi said the Railway Minister in UPA government promised up gradation of Karnal railway station, but he actually didn’t do anything to keep his promise.

Modi said the government of India is building a cancer hospital in Haryana, and for that he recently during his America visit met researchers. Modi spoke about reuse of waste water for utilization in cities. At the same time, he said fertilizer derived from this process would be useful for farmers.

Modi shared details of Haryana’s ranking in spending for farmers, education etc.

In reference to Chautala, Modi without mentioning his name asked people whether they would like to go to Tihar(where Chautala has been kept) for government related work or to Chandigarh? Modi also shared details on central government’s plan to develop Smart City in Haryana.
