The chief minister said 'Haryana Ek-Haryanvi Ek' is not just a slogan for him, but his resolution.
"Compared to the previous government (in the state), our government's tenure will always have an upper hand in terms of both development works and providing state-of-the-art health facilities to citizens," he said at the 'Jan Samvad', according to an official statement issued here.
The BJP MLA from Pehowa, Sandeep Singh, was also present at the programme.
