He said the BJP government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi has introduced 106 schemes in the country for youths, farmers, women and labourers. “We introduced a new scheme in every 15 days of our government for the welfare of the people. It is utmost important that these schemes reach their beneficiaries as well,” Shah said.
The BJP president was received with much fanfare in the state, right from the Delhi-Haryana border up to Tilyar Convention Centre in Rohtak, where he chaired his meetings for Wednesday. Thousands came on road to welcome Shah with flowers. CM Khattar and BJP state president Subhash Barala welcomed him with turban (pagdi).

At his meeting with intellectuals and eminent citizens, Shah praised Khattar for trying to revolutionise politics in the state. “Earlier, only relatives and close associates of the politicians used to get jobs and plum posts. But Khattar government has brought transparency in recruitments and transfers. He is doing a great job in keeping Haryana
politics clean,” Shah said. The BJP chiefwill have lunch with a Dalit workers.
