Haryana Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini said Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi has shown visionary leadership by taking the historic decision of conducting a nationwide caste census. This decision is an unprecedented step towards social justice which will pave the way to provide rights and opportunities to the most deprived and neglected sections of society.
The Chief Minister said this in the meeting of Chief Ministers and Deputy Chief Ministers of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) chaired by Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi in New Delhi today. In this meeting, a resolution was passed praising the valour of the armed forces in Operation Sindoor and the courageous leadership of the Prime Minister. Along with Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Sh. Amit Shah, Defence Minister Sh. Rajnath Singh and BJP National President Sh. Jagat Prakash Nadda also attended this one-day conference.
The Chief Minister said the mantra of the government ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas and Sabka Vishwas’ has been vividly manifested in this decision.
The caste census will help in understanding the socio-economic condition of the deprived communities, which will lead to targeted policies for their education, employment and overall progress. This effort reflects the unwavering commitment to bring the light of development to every corner of society. He said the caste census will accurately assess the real condition of various communities, making the schemes more effective. This is part of the vision of the government, which focuses on providing equal opportunity and respect to every Indian. This step of the government will raise the standard of living of the most vulnerable sections of society, which is another example of people-centric governance.
The Chief Minister said the Prime Minister showed his generosity and foresight by accepting this long-standing demand. This move proves that the government respects the views of all and is capable of taking big decisions in national interest and this leadership will bring more glory to India on the global platform.
Sh. Nayab Singh Saini said the Congress only did politics on the issue of caste census for a long time. By repeatedly postponing the issue and using it as a political weapon, the party not only stopped the progress towards social justice but also promoted division in society on caste basis. He said this hindered the deprived communities from getting their fair share and benefits of government schemes. He said the government has repeatedly proved its sensitivity towards the poor and deprived with revolutionary schemes like Ujjwala Yojana, Ayushman Bharat, PM Awas Yojana and Jan Dhan Yojana. Now, the decision of caste census will further strengthen these efforts, so that every section can take advantage of the welfare governance of the government.
The Chief Minister said this decision of the government for the underprivileged will be written in golden letters in the history of India. This historic decision of the Prime Minister has ushered in a new era of social justice and equality. With this, India is becoming empowered not only economically but also morally and socially.
