Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar today alleged that the previous Congress government in the state discriminated while allocating resources for different districts of Haryana.



The charge of discrimination in allocation of resources levelled by some Congress leaders has been proved by the white paper brought out by the state government on state fiscal, the CM said.



Khattar said that had all-round development been undertaken, there would not have been such a big difference in the district-wise per capita income.



He said that the per capita income is high in six districts whereas it is low in eight districts.



He said that the per capita income of Gurgaon district which was Rs 81,478 in 2004-05, increased to Rs 4,46,305 in 2011-12.



The per capita income of Yamunanagar district increased from Rs 32,038 in 2004-05 to Rs 82,232 in 2011-12.



Similarly, in Mahendergarh district, it increased from Rs 21,888 in 2004-05 to Rs 54,835 in 2011-12.



But the per capita income of Mewat district in 2011-12 was only Rs 45,934, the lowest in the entire state.



"There is need to do away with the discrimination made in the distribution of resources of the state during last 10 years and change the pattern of resource allocation decisions," Khattar said.



"We must do away with regional discrimination in development by increasing public expenditure on basic infrastructure and efficiency," he said.



The state government wants to undertake all-round and balanced development right from Shivalik Hills to Aravali Hills and from Sirsa to Faridabad by putting an end to regional discrimination in the matter of development, he said.

Meanwhile, Khattar promised balanced growth and transparent and corruption free system throughout the state.



He said that the aim of publishing the white paper was not vindictive, but to bring out the true facts and invite suggestions from educationists, financial experts and even opposition to put the economy again on the right track by analysing the financial status and finding solution to overcome the present situation.



He said that facts falsify the previous Government’s claim of 'Number One Haryana' saying Haryana today ranks at tenth position in the country as per the average growth recorded during the period 2005-06 to 2013-14 which was 8.5 in Haryana, much lower than the average growth rate recorded by the states ranking upto number nine in the tally.



Sikkim ranks first by recording 16.5 per cent average growth, he added.



He said that the actual annual rate of growth for GSDP for the period 2004-05 to 2013-14 in Haryana has fluctuated more sharply than all India growth rate in these years.



He said that the facts indicate inadequate policy interventions during this period, which led to this situation.



The white paper would help in framing new schemes for integrated development of the state, he said.



He said that the white paper is being released in two parts which intends to present the factual status of various aspects of finances and the related growth data for the state over a period of last ten years from year 2004-05 to 2013-14.



In the first part, the trends of macro-economic indicators, budget receipt and expenditure have been shown.



However, expenditure distribution has also highlighted in some cases. The ten year trends in growth of tax revenue, non-tax revenue, revenue collection as well as areas of shortfall and slow growth in receipts have also been analysed for the same period.



In addition, expenditure on creation of capital expenditure has also been analysed in white paper as it mainly catalyses future growth and development of the state economy.



The Chief Minister said that state financial position and fiscal health of public sector undertaking is being highlighted in second part of white paper.



"The facts and data have been taken from budget documents of Haryana Government, Finance accounts and papers of Planning Commission and Reserve Bank. In some cases, data had been collected from concerned departments and organisations," he said.
