Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini informed the House during the ongoing budget session today that the entire amount owed to the Haryana government by the IDFC First Bank case has been fully disbursed to the accounts of various departments. The bank has deposited ₹556 crore, including interest of approximately ₹22 crore. He stated that the bank stated that this incident primarily involved its Chandigarh branch and occurred through the connivance of middle- and lower-level employees.
Mr Nayab Singh Saini clarified that the government, in collaboration with the bank, will ensure that anyone involved in this incident, whether a government official or a bank employee, receives the strictest punishment. The Chief Minister stated in the House that today, the country has a strong watchman in the form of Narendra Modi, under whose leadership the double-engine government is keeping track of every penny of public money. The Chief Minister stated that no culprit will be spared. He stated that this is the hard-earned money of 28 million people of Haryana, and it will be spent solely on their welfare.
The Chief Minister said that a high-level committee headed by the Finance Secretary will determine the accountability of employees and officials. He said that the governance system in Haryana has now completely changed. The time for suppressing corruption files is over.
