Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar today claimed that the work executed by the BJP government in Haryana in the last three years "exceeded" that done by the previous dispensation in its 10 years.
He was speaking at a session on the second of the three- day 'Chintan Shivir' at Timber Trail in Himachal Pradesh's Parwanoo.
"The work done by the present state government during its three-year tenure exceeds the work done during the 10-year regime of the previous government," he said.
Since the formation of the BJP government in Haryana, several works have been taken up. These were never undertaken by any government in the state, the chief minister claimed.
"Special emphasis has been laid on providing maximum employment opportunities to the youth by ensuring skill development and attracting investment to the state," Khattar said.
The chief minister said, "Every person in the society must be honest. It is to instill honesty in the people that the state government has adopted a zero-tolerance policy against corruption."

Haryana was ranked 14 in terms of ease of doing business and is now competing for the number one position, Khattar said.
Underlining the significance of culture and tradition, he said that any society or nation which did not have rich cultural heritage, could not progress.
Referring to the 'Beti Bachao-Beti Padhao' programme, he said even Prime Minister Narendra Modi had praised the state government for its effective implementation, Khattar said.
Haryana can inspire other states of the country. The state government has set a target for itself to make Haryana free from anemia in the next three years, the chief minister said.
To ensure transparency, the state has implemented online teachers transfer policy and merit-based government jobs. The government is also working to make the state kerosene-free, he said.
Haryana Urban Local Bodies Minister Kavita Jain said that a policy for traffic management should be framed in the state so that traffic and parking needs can be addressed. She was speaking on Urban Rejuvenation.
Emphasising on the need of basic amenities in rural areas, the minister said, "We should provide maximum facilities, at par with urban areas, in villages to ensure better livelihood and avoid migration of people from rural areas".
Minister of State for Cooperation Manish Kumar Grover highlighted the importance of urban rejuvenation and said, "We will have to move towards tehsils and sub-divisions for urban expansion."
The Haryana Urban Development Authority and Housing Board must develop residential colonies and develop markets in these areas as these are now connected with cities, he said.
He also suggested that the department should properly handle its properties in various parts of Haryana as it would ensure income for municipalities.
Lieutenant Commander Sandhya Chauhan, who belongs to Rewari in Haryana and had shot to fame for leading the Naval Contingent in the 2015 Republic Day Parade, also attended the event.
She appreciated the Haryana government's decision of having a government college for girls in every 20 km, an official release read.
Chauhan said that Haryana is on the right track and the people are appreciating the initiatives of the state government such as the 'chintan shivar' where policy makers and politicians are deliberating on several important issues together.
