"The actual good governance is where departments not only reach out to the people who are unable to reach the administration, but also fulfil their needs and resolve their grievances" he said.

In an official statement, Chautala said that Haryana is the first state in the country where BPL ration cards are being made for families with an income of Rs 1.80 lakh instead of Rs 1.20 lakh. Late Chaudhary Devi Lal had also started 'Kam-ke-Badaley-Aanaj-Yojana' 28 years ago, which has now taken the form of MNREGA, he added.

The government is trying to install micro ATMs at the ration depot shop, so that the common citizen can withdraw up to Rs 5,000 from there. The tax policy has been aimed in such a way to get rid of the 'inspector raj'.
