Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini said that the opposition had misled the public by holding the Constitution on their heads and claiming that if Narendra Modi became the Prime Minister for the third time, he would abolish the Constitution. The Constitution has not ended, but the people have certainly ended Congress from the country. He added that the opposition today has no issues left, and in such a situation, the Congress is spreading lies. The people of the country have completely rejected the Congress.
He further said that after losing the elections, Congress first put the blame on EVMs, whereas the electronic voting system is fully transparent and votes go only to the candidate chosen by the voter.
The Chief Minister was addressing the gathering during a programme in village Patak Mazra, Kurukshetra today. He assured the villagers that all their demands would be forwarded to the concerned departments for resolution. He also announced a grant of Rs 21 lakh for Panchayat development works in the village.
He said that some opposition members are deliberately trying to create controversies in the Assembly, but the government is ready to discuss every issue in detail. He said that in the last 11 years, Prime Minister Sh Narendra Modi has taken the country forward through rapid and inclusive development, which has earned India recognition and respect across the world. Just last week, the Prime Minister dedicated two projects worth Rs 2,000 crore for Haryana, which will accelerate the pace of development and provide people with better connectivity facilities, he added.
Highlighting the Sankalps made during the elections, the Chief Minister said that the government had announced 217 commitments in its Sankalp Patra. Out of these, 41 Sankalps have already been fulfilled, and by the end of this year, 90 more will be completed.
Nayab Singh Saini pointed out that when the government was working to provide jobs to the youth without any recommendation or expenditure, opposition members approached the Election Commission and the courts to stall the recruitment results. Despite these hurdles, before assuming office as Chief Minister, the very first promise I fulfilled was to ensure that the selected youth received their appointments. He said that to ensure no citizen has to bear the financial burden of kidney dialysis, the state government has made dialysis facilities completely free in all government hospitals, medical colleges, and medical universities.
Shri Nayab Singh Saini said that for years, families living in houses built on Panchayat land had to live under the constant fear of court cases. The state government has now given ownership rights to such families by registering their houses at the collector rate of 2004. He said that the government had promised to purchase farmers’ crops at Minimum Support Price (MSP). Fulfilling this commitment, a notification has been issued and Haryana has become the first state in the country where all crops are being procured at MSP. Similarly, vegetable growers are also being supported under the Bhavantar Bharpai Yojana.
The Chief Minister informed that recently, 5,000 landless families have been allotted 100-square-yard plots each, and applications are being invited for the second phase. Members of the Prajapati community, who were unable to pursue business for a long time, have been provided land in villages along with eligiblity certificates. Highlighting the state government’s achievements, he said that while villages used to get only four hours of power supply with frequent cuts during the Congress regime, today the government is working to ensure 24-hour electricity in villages.
He also said that recruitment for constable posts in the state police will be conducted soon. The process is being planned, and all recruitments will be carried out in a completely transparent manner. He encouraged the youth to work hard to take advantage of these opportunities. Villagers extended a warm welcome to the Chief Minister on his arrival.

Law and order had collapsed during opposition rule: CM Nayab Singh Saini
Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, taking a jibe at the opposition, said it has no concrete issues today. Those who are questioning law and order know very well that during their rule, the system had completely collapsed. At that time, if any incident happened with a woman, not even an FIR was registered. In contrast, during the present government, the police are working swiftly. If anyone commits a crime, the police ensure that he is put behind bars.
The Chief Minister was interacting with the media after attending the marathon held in Dabwali, Sirsa, on Sunday.
He said the Monsoon Session of the Haryana Assembly will continue till August 27, during which various Bills will be introduced and legislative business business be carried out. The opposition has also given attention-drawing motions, to which the government will respond.
Replying to a question related to the Bill introduced in Parliament, Sh. Nayab Singh Saini said the effort of the Central Government is to bring transparency in society and to build people’s trust in political parties and leaders. Otherwise, the situation used to be such that people would win elections even from inside the jail. This is the reason the Central Government has brought this Bill so that transparency and public trust in democracy can be further strengthened.
Answering a question related to bringing Ghaggar river water into the Kharif channel of Kaluana, the Chief Minister said whether it is the work of remodelling canals or delivering water, the government is working speedily in this direction. There were some difficulties regarding water from Punjab, about which the Central Government was also informed. So far, the Central Government has held two meetings on the issue. Certainly, some solution will be found, he added.
