Chandigarh- Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini said that the state government is fully committed to safeguarding the interests of poor families. Refuting the misleading claims of the opposition regarding BPL cards, he said that the government has made the process more transparent and simpler.
Responding during the ongoing monsoon session of the Vidhan Sabha, the Chief Minister said that when the opposition raised objections over BPL cards not being issued to poor families, the state government opened the portal for automatic verification. Through this portal, any family can submit their income details themselves, ensuring timely access to schemes and benefits linked to BPL cards.
He further clarified that the income details for BPL cards are automatically linked with the portal. The concerned officers verify the data, and if a family’s income is found to be higher than the eligibility limit, the card is automatically cancelled. The objective of this system is to ensure transparency and guarantee that benefits reach only the genuinely eligible families.
