Maharashtra Police received the award in 1961 while Jammu and Kashmir Police received it in 2003.Tamil Nadu Police received it in 2009, Tripura Police in 2012 and Gujarat Police in 2019. Himachal Pradesh Police received the award in 2021 while Assam Police in 2022.In a day-long visit to Haryana on Tuesday, Union Home and Cooperative Minister Amit Shah is scheduled to inaugurate various projects of the state cooperative department.In the afternoon, Shah will inaugurate various projects of the Haryana Cooperative Department at an event organised at Haryana Cooperative Export House (HAFED) in Karnal around 2:30 pm.Meanwhile, sources indicated that the BJP in Haryana was eagerly looking forward to Shah's arrival in the state, especially to blunt the impact made by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Yatra for eight days in Haryana, divided into two phases -- December 21-23 (Firozpur Jhirka, Nuh, Faridabad and Gurgaon) and January 6-10 (Panipat, Karnal, Kurukshetra and Ambala).Currently, the BJP has all 10 Lok Sabha seats and one Rajya Sabha seat in the state, while the Congress has one Rajya Sabha seat. BJP-backed Independent Kartikeya Sharma is the third one who made it to Rajya Sabha in June 2022.Aiming to emerge even stronger in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, the state BJP has already started mobilising its cadres at the ground level.Haryana will see Assembly polls next year, months after the Lok Sabha elections in April-May 2024. The BJP will face the polls after two terms in power.In 2014, the party came to power with an absolute majority (47 of 90 seats). However, five years later, it could secure barely 40 seats and had to enter into a post-poll alliance with Dushyant Chautala-led Jannayak Janta Party (JJP).( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
