The Haryana government has appointed senior BJP leader and former state general secretary advocate Vedpal as the Chairman of the Haryana State Agricultural Marketing Board (HSAMB) on Saturday. Party workers and supporters across the state celebrated his appointment with enthusiasm.
Soon after the announcement, BJP workers gathered at his residence in Rasulpur Khurd village in the district to congratulate him.
Vedpal is considered as one of the senior-most BJP leaders in the district and has played an important role in strengthening the party and its organisational structure over the years. A dedicated party worker, he has remained actively associated with the BJP since 1991, when he joined the ABVP. He has held several key responsibilities within the organisation.
He had contested the 2019 Haryana Assembly elections from the Pundri Assembly constituency in Kaithal district on a BJP ticket. Though he could not secure victory, he continued to work actively for the party and remained engaged with public issues.
Expressing gratitude to the party leadership for expressing faith in him, Vedpal said, “I sincerely thank the party leadership and Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini for reposing faith in me and assigning me this important responsibility. I will work with full dedication and honesty to live up to their expectations. The welfare of farmers and strengthening the agricultural marketing system will remain my top priorities.”
He assured that every effort would be made to ensure better facilities and effective implementation of policies of the state and the Centre, aimed at benefiting the farming community. He said he would work closely with all stakeholders to further strengthen agricultural markets and improve services for farmers across Haryana.
“Since, I belong to a farmer family, so I know the issues of farmers of the region very well. I will try all the policies of the government to farmers,” he added.
