It was in our Assembly Election Manifesto to create 10,000 water bodies every year in the State, so that 50,000 water bodies are excavated in five years’ time. To fulfil our commitment, we had taken up the task of ‘Jal Dharo, Jal Bharo’ (water harvesting) programme in all earnestness. I am happy to share with you that within only two and half years of our Government, we have exceeded our five-year target and already excavated 1,02,618 water bodies. In the present scenario of global warming, it is necessary to focus on ecological balancing. These water bodies will play a significant role not only in ecological balancing, but also in water harvesting, pisciculture and supporting micro-irrigation in the rural areas. Likewise, in our electoral manifesto, we had opposed Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in retail market. Our Ministers had resigned from the Union Government as a mark of protest against introduction of FDI in retail market by the Central Government. Fulfilment of commitments is our credential.
