Haryana Cooperation, Prison and Tourism Minister, Dr. Arvind Sharma, stated that the previous allocation of Rs 2 crore for Gaushalas in the state has been significantly increased to Rs 500 crore by the current government, led by Chief Minister Sh Nayab Singh Saini. He reiterated the government's firm commitment to cow protection and welfare.

Dr. Sharma made these remarks while attending the 36th Foundation Day and Honour Ceremony of Nandini Dham Gaushala in village Paharwar, district Rohtak, where he participated as the Chief Guest. On this occasion, he also announced a grant of Rs 11 lakh for the Gaushala.

Speaking to the media after the event, Dr. Sharma sharply criticized the Congress, stating that the party has"completely lost its ground across the country.

He dismissed the Congress's allegations regarding the Robert Vadra case, clarifying that the case is proceeding through due legal process and that the government has no role in it.

Dr. Sharma also emphasized the importance of simultaneous elections across the country. He recalled that the idea of One Nation, One Election was first proposed by the Election Commission of India in 1980. The Central Government later formed a committee on the subject, chaired by former President Sh Ram Nath Kovind.

He noted that the committee's findings reflect the will of both Prime Minister Sh Narendra Modi and the 140 crore citizens of India who desire simultaneous elections to accelerate development and reduce election-related expenditures.
