Embrace 'Vocal for Local' initiative to realise PM Modi's Viksit Bharat vision: Haryana CM

Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini launches Aatmanirbhar Bharat campaign, says embracing local products will make India world's third-largest economy by 2047.

"Under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, India has risen to become the world's fourth-largest economic power in just 11 years. - Nayab Singh Saini"

Chandigarh, Nov 28

Haryana Chief Minister, Nayab Singh Saini, on Friday said the path to realising Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of a developed India by 2047 lies firmly in embracing the 'Vocal for Local' initiative.

He said this goal could be achieved only through the extensive use of domestically manufactured goods and the promotion of local industries.

The Chief Minister launched the Aatmanirbhar Bharat Rail Passenger Connect Campaign at the Railway Station here, where Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw and Union Minister of State Ravneet Singh Bittu were also present.

The campaign is a significant effort to take Prime Minister Modi's call for a developed India by 2047 and the 'Vocal for Local' message to the public.

As part of the initiative, the Chief Minister personally visited the station platform and interacted with passengers, distributing informational leaflets on Atmanirbhar Bharat.

Later, speaking to the media, the Chief Minister said in 2014, India ranked as the world's 12th-13th largest economy.

Under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, he said, India has risen to become the world's fourth-largest economic power in just 11 years.

He expressed confidence that by using local products, boosting domestic production, and adopting a model of self-reliance, India will soon emerge as the world's third-largest economy.

Referring to railway development, the Chief Minister said that under the leadership of the Prime Minister, rail and road infrastructure have been strengthened across the country.

Railway stations are being equipped with modern, airport-like facilities. He said the Chandigarh and Panchkula railway stations are being upgraded under the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme, calling it an example of unprecedented development.

Responding to a question about the death of athlete Hardik Rathi, the Chief Minister expressed sorrow and called the incident extremely unfortunate.

He said the Sports Department and the administration have been directed to take strict action against officials found negligent.

He said Haryana's athletes are the pride of the state, and the government stands firmly with them.

The government has also sought a report on the condition of sports equipment installed in stadiums across the state.

Responding to Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann's remarks about Haryana, CM Saini said sensitive issues should not be politicised.

He said Arvind Kejriwal and the Aam Aadmi Party came to power promising to eliminate drug abuse from Punjab within a month, yet the current situation is evident to all.

"Drug addiction continues to devastate Punjab's youth, and crime is steadily rising. Instead of taking decisive action, the Punjab Chief Minister is engaging in political blame games," he added.

Good to see railway stations getting modern facilities. The Chandigarh station upgrade is much needed. But I hope they maintain these facilities properly - many government projects look great initially but deteriorate quickly due to poor maintenance.

The focus on infrastructure development is impressive. From 12th to 4th largest economy in just over a decade is remarkable progress. Hope this momentum continues and benefits reach all sections of society.

While I support the Vocal for Local concept, I wish there was more focus on quality standards. Some local products still lag behind international quality. Government should ensure strict quality control so people don't feel they're compromising when buying Indian.

The tragic incident with athlete Hardik Rathi highlights the need for better sports infrastructure and safety measures. Hope the government's promised action is implemented properly. Our athletes deserve the best facilities.

Good to see CM personally interacting with passengers at the station. This kind of direct public engagement builds trust. Hope more leaders follow this approach rather than just giving speeches from stages.
