Will not spare anyone involved in graft: Khattar
ROHTAK: Haryana chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Sunday said his government has given jobs in a transparent manner. Also, nearly 1,100 persons have been booked for their involvement in unfair means in recruitment process.
Addressing a rally in Sirsa, CM Khattar said 800 persons, who were involved in unfair means in recruitment process, were arrested and 300 are absconding. “We have strengthened the vigilance bureau and sometimes common people also come in traps in unfair means cases. Our main priority is to give jobs on merit. Our government has tried to catch corruption bid involved in the recruitment process,” the CM added. “Our government will keep tabs on such activities. We will not spare anyone involved in corruption. When I became the CM for the first time, people used to say that this is a new man. Yes, I was new as I don’t have any experience with corruption. I had travelled to villages in Sirsa for years.
We did not get better election results in Sirsa but our government has carried out development projects worth Rs 2,676 crore here in the last seven years,” Khattar added.
‘Will act strongly against drug cases’
The chief minister Khattar said as many as 24 persons, of which 23 are aged 23 to 30, died due to drug abuse in Sirsa in 2022 and 16 deaths were reported in Fatehabad. “We have decided to open gyms in 50 villages in Sirsa except Rania, Dabwali and Ellenabad areas as the mode of conduct is implemented there due to civic body polls. We will take strict action against those involved in supplying drugs,” he added.
