Poll campaign in Pb is party's prerogative: Khattar

Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar today said the election campaign in Punjab is the party's prerogative and whoever is entrusted with this responsibility would fulfill it with complete honesty and hard work.
The issue of Sutlej-Yamuna Link (SYL) canal is not a poll issue and Haryana has presented its case by clarifying its stand, he said.
The Chief Minister stated this after inaugurating crafts exhibition as part of the 21st National Youth Festival-2017 at All India Jat Heroes' Memorial College, Rohtak today.
About 5,000 artisans from different states are showcasing their talent in the festival.
Notably, opposition party INLD had submitted a memorandum to the Governor Kaptan Singh Solanki, demanding dismissal of the Khattar led BJP government for its alleged failure in performing the constitutional responsibility.

The party targeted Khattar for his reported consent to campaign for BJP in upcoming Punjab assembly polls despite Punjab BJP being against giving Ravi-Beas water to Haryana.

Khattar said that such events provided a platform for the youth from different states to showcase their talent in different disciplines, besides promoting unity and national integration.
This being the Swarna Jayanti Year of the State, the 21st National Youth Festival-2017 holds special significance for the people of Haryana. He also wished for bright future of the participants.
Extending warm wishes to the people on the occasion of Lohri and Makar Sankranti, the Chief Minister said that Pravasi Haryana Divas-2017 organised at Gurugram had received an overwhelming response from the Pravasi Haryanvis.

As many as 24 Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) were signed during the event, which would lead to potential investment of about Rs 20,000 crore in the state, besides generating even more opportunities for the youth of Haryana, he added.
