Today economically, Haryana has gone far ahead of Punjab and is in a position to challenge Punjab in the agricultural sector also. While the credit for the success of Haryana goes to the hardworking people of Haryana, it also goes to the policies of the governments formed in the state from time to time.
The facts made public by Haryana Chief Minister Khattar while communicating with the farmers also reveal the intentions of the Khattar government along with its policy towards the farmers of Haryana. If the plan being made by the Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar government regarding agricultural products with African countries is successful, then in the coming time, the farmers of Haryana will get a golden opportunity to work which will help in their prosperity as well as the prosperity of the state.
