As the Monsoon Session of the Haryana State Assembly started on Friday, Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar made a sharp attack on the Congress party, accusing it of providing below-poverty-line (BPL) cards to individuals residing in upscale residences.
Replying to an issue concerning Parivar Pehchan Patra (family IDs) raised by an Opposition member during the first day of the Session here, Mr. Lal highlighted disparities in the distribution of Below Poverty Line (BPL) cards during the Congress regime in the year 2011. He said that BPL cards were erroneously allocated to individuals residing in upscale residences.
“A list containing approximately 50 such names made headlines at the time. Corrective measures have been taken by the current BJP-led government to rectify these issues in the interest and for benefit of common people,” he said, targeting the Congress party.
