Speaking about the Yatra, Saini said that it aimed to highlight various state and the Central government initiatives and exhorted all the state and district leaders to reach out to the people of the state through the party organisation to spread awareness about various welfare schemes being implemented by both the Central and state governments.
Yatra to cover 6,223 panchayats; address local issues
Stating that the Yatra would cover all the about 6,223 panchayats in state, Saini said that it also aimed to ensure that no one was left unattended under various welfare schemes of the Centre and the state governments.
Taking a dig at the rival Congress party, the state BJP chief said that the 'dukan' (shop) of the Congress had nothing in it and therefore it was mindlessly promising freebies and even promising four deputy chief ministers if voted to power.
It may be recalled that the Yatra which would cover all villages and cities across Haryana over the next 60 days would have 58 LED (light emitting diode) vans would be deployed to reach every corner of the state, providing information and engaging with the public.
Health camps and competitions to be organised
The vans would be equipped with promotional material, films, and digital displays to effectively communicate the government's achievements and policies, also aimed to address local issues on the spot with the involvement of self-help group stalls and the presence of district officials would accompany the Yatra, facilitating solution of problems related to pensions, Aadhaar, Parivar Pehchan Patra, agricultural and horticulture related issues.
According to information, besides, various health and Ayush camps would also be organised to provide basic medical services and address any health concerns and to encourage participation among youth, various competitions would be held for students of universities, colleges, and schools located in each village and ward. The winning students would be rewarded by the Government of India, he added.
