Cabinet Approves Wage Hike for Labourers in Haryana
People of West Bengal are ready for change, BJP government will be formed: CM Nayab Singh Saini
Chandigarh, April 8 – Haryana Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini, while addressing a press conference after the Cabinet meeting held in Chandigarh today, said the state government has taken a major decision in the interest of the labour class by increasing the minimum wage of unskilled workers to ₹15,220 per month. This decision will directly benefit lakhs of unskilled workers in the state and improve their standard of living.
The Chief Minister said that during the Budget Session of the Legislative Assembly, he had announced that an expert committee had recommended an increase in the minimum wages of unskilled workers. Fulfilling this announcement, the Cabinet has now approved fixing the minimum wage at ₹15,220 per month.
He stated that the state government is giving top priority to the welfare and social security of workers. This increase in minimum wages will not only raise the income of unskilled workers but will also strengthen the economic condition of their families. The Chief Minister informed that a total of seven agenda items were placed before the Cabinet today, out of which six were approved.
Responding to various questions from journalists during the press conference, the Chief Minister said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi, a strong foundation is being laid for the formation of a BJP government in West Bengal. The people of Bengal now want change, and their trust in BJP is steadily increasing for development, industry, women’s safety, and good governance.
The Chief Minister said that during the long period of Left rule and under the present government in West Bengal, industry and employment have suffered. Due to issues such as atrocities against women, farmers not receiving the benefits of MSP, a sense of insecurity among the general public, and a deteriorating law and order situation, people there are ready for change. He added that the BJP organisation is strengthening rapidly, and it is certain that a BJP government will be formed in West Bengal in the coming time.
Responding to another question, the Chief Minister said that the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh is a symbol of service to the nation. Whenever the country has faced any crisis, its volunteers have been among the first to serve. The organisation has never engaged in publicity-driven politics but has always worked quietly and with dedication for society. However, it is unfortunate that the opposition is making statements on this issue.
The Chief Minister said that under the Ayushman Bharat scheme, lakhs of people across the country have benefited from medical treatment, but due to non-implementation of the scheme by the governments of West Bengal and Punjab, many needy people there have been deprived of its benefits.
On voter list revision, he said that it is a regular and necessary process carried out by the Election Commission. The purity of the electoral roll is essential for democracy, and it should be updated from time to time.
He stated that the government’s focus is on providing work and opportunities to people from all sections of society. The public wants development, employment, and security, and problems cannot be solved merely through allegations.
The Chief Minister said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi, the country is moving rapidly on the path of development, security, and public welfare, and the Haryana Government is also working in the same spirit for the welfare of the state.
On this occasion, Additional Director (Administration), Information, Public Relations and Languages Department, Smt. Varsha Khangwal, and Media Secretary to the Chief Minister, Sh. Praveen Attrey were present.
