Haryana CM claims 76 of 217 poll promises fulfilled, unveils Rs 44.83-crore projects in Kurukshetra

Kurukshetra, Nov 15 (UNI) Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Sunday said his BJP government had fulfilled 76 of the 217 promises made in its assembly election manifesto over the past two years, while work on the remaining 141 commitments was progressing rapidly, as he inaugurated and laid the foundation stones of six development projects worth Rs 44.83 crore in Kurukshetra district.

Addressing a gathering at Neeldhari Gurudwara Pipli Sahib, Saini said his government was committed to making Haryana the country's first developed state in line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Viksit Bharat 2047 vision.
"Development should be measured by the improvements it brings to the daily lives of ordinary people. When change becomes visible from households to village community spaces, development promises are translated into reality," the Chief Minister said.
Saini said public service was not merely an administrative responsibility but a duty towards the people.
"Our government delivers what it promises. Of the 217 commitments made in our election manifesto, 76 have already been fulfilled in two years, while work on the remaining 141 is progressing rapidly," he said.
The Chief Minister inaugurated four projects costing Rs 13.36 crore and laid the foundation stones of two others involving an investment of Rs 31.47 crore, covering Pipli, Ladwa and Thanesar.
Among the major projects is a Rs 22.47-crore sewerage network and a 6.5 million litres per day pumping station for Pipli, Bir Pipli and residential colonies along the Pipli-Ladwa Road.
Saini said the project was aimed at providing a permanent solution to long-standing drainage problems affecting residents of these areas.
He also inaugurated two 33-kV electricity substations, constructed at a combined cost of Rs 12.25 crore, in Sector 28 and Jogna Khera to strengthen power supply. Two sub-health centres were opened at Mirzapur and Dayalpur to improve access to healthcare in rural areas and reduce the need for residents to travel long distances for basic medical services.
The Chief Minister also laid the foundation stone of a Rs 9-crore project for the renovation, improvement and beautification of KDB Road in Thanesar, including the development of Kurukshetra Dwar and Umri Dwar.
Highlighting other infrastructure projects, Saini said a 50-bed civil hospital had been established in Ladwa, while an elevated railway track costing approximately Rs 400 crore had been completed and dedicated to the public in Kurukshetra.
He said a nursing college was being developed at Kheri Ramnagar, while Prime Minister Modi had laid the foundation stone of a Sikh museum costing Rs 164 crore in Kurukshetra.
The Chief Minister said the government was pursuing infrastructure development alongside the preservation of Kurukshetra's religious and cultural heritage.
He urged residents and elected representatives to regularly inform the administration about local problems and the progress of development works so that delays and shortcomings could be addressed.
Saini assured residents of Pipli, Ladwa, Thanesar and other parts of Kurukshetra district that development works would continue.
Speaking at the programme, Kurukshetra MP Naveen Jindal praised the state government's development initiatives and said Haryana could emerge as a developed state by 2035 if the present pace of progress continued.
Former minister Subhash Sudha claimed that development works were progressing at 10 times the earlier pace under Saini's leadership. Jindal and Sudha's assessments were their own claims, while the Chief Minister's figures on election commitments reflected the government's stated progress.
Jindal, Sudha and several district officials and public representatives attended the programme.
