Accusing Congress party of considering Mewat region only as a vote bank, Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Sunday said that a lot of development has taken place under the BJP government in the region as it worked here without discrimination.
Saini, addressing a Vijay Sankalp Rally in Punhana, said that Congress used to call Mewat as ‘Kala Pani’, “but the BJP Government changed this thinking and today as much development work has been done in Mewat as in other districts”.
“BJP government’s policy is very clear. That is why Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself started worrying about the development work here by giving the status of aspirational district to Mewat…I am proud to say that according to the recent report of NITI Aayog, Mewat is continuously moving towards development. There has been 48 per cent growth in the field of education in Mewat. Before 2014, there were 22 schools in Nuh district. Our government increased the number of schools five times to 117. In 70 years of Independence, three government colleges have opened in this area. Our government opened three new colleges here,” said Saini.
