Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on August 29 said the Bharatiya Janata Party-Jannayak Janta Party (BJP-JJP) government had succeeded in enhancing eligible citizens’ access to government schemes through the Parivar Pehchan Patra initiative, which has not only eliminated many hurdles but also empowered eligible beneficiaries to effortlessly avail themselves of various State welfare schemes and programmes.
He was replying to a ‘calling attention motion’ moved by the Opposition on the scheme during the ongoing monsoon session of the State Assembly.
Taking a dig at previous governments, Mr. Lal said the earlier system disproportionately favoured those who were dominant or well-connected, often leading to an unequal distribution of scheme benefits, and in contrast, vulnerable individuals were often discouraged from participating due to procedural complexities.
