Chandigarh, June 7 (UNI) Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, addressing a delegation of the Deprived Scheduled Castes (DSC) community from across the state, today said the community is now receiving its rightful share and respect under the BJP government.
He said that in the recent announcement of approximately 3,500 government recruitments, 605 posts have been reserved for the DSC community and 604 posts for other Scheduled Castes. This is a strong step toward social justice, he added.
Saini also acknowledged the long struggle of the DSC community and stated that their efforts are now yielding positive results. Future generations will be empowered and strong, he said, while addressing a delegation of the DSC community at his residence, Sant Kabir Kutir.
On the occasion, members of the DSC community honored the Chief Minister with a turban and expressed gratitude for implementing categorisation within reservations for the DSC community. They also invited the Chief Minister to attend the Sant Kabir Jayanti celebration to be held in Sirsa on June 11.
The Chief Minister, calling the members of the community "warriors", said the turban placed on his head is not just his honor but the honor of the entire community.
In other remarks, the CM said the real strength of this country lies in its poor, labourers, and marginalised communities. These are the very people who, through their hard work, are making the biggest contribution to transforming India into a developed nation.
Over the past 11 years, Prime Minister, Narendra Modi has given these hardworking sections of society the respect and rights that Congress could never provide. Congress has always prioritised the interests of its own family and never truly cared about the public, society, or the nation.
Hitting out at the Congress, he said that despite being in power for decades, the Congress ignored the aspirations of the common people and now the public has shown them door.
