Haryana Chief Minister, Nayab Singh Saini said that in 2027, a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government will be formed in Punjab under the leadership of Prime Minister, Narendra Modi. Once the BJP comes to power, all central government schemes that are being implemented in Haryana and other states will also be implemented in Punjab.
The Chief Minister said this while interacting with the media on Tuesday after attending a programme at Hira Mahal, Nabha.
The Chief Minister said that Punjab is like a family to Haryana, as people have close relations across both states. He said Punjab and Haryana share the common culture and values. He added that the people of Punjab have now understood the false promises made by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Congress. He said that they only make big claims, but do nothing on the ground. He expressed confidence that in coming time a BJP government will be formed in Punjab under the leadership of Prime Minister, Sh. Narendra Modi
Responding to another question, the Chief Minister said that law and order in Punjab has completely deteriorated. People no longer feel safe, incidents of firing at wrestlers in akharas have occurred, and theft cases are also rising. He said Corruption has prevailed in Punjab since the rule of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Congress party and it is at its peak today. Whether it is property registration or getting a document signed, people are forced to pay money. He said that the promises made by the AAP during the last four years have not been fulfilled so far.
Whereas in Haryana, he said that all promises made under the Sankalp Patra have been fulfilled. He pointed out that AAP had promised to give Rs.1,100 per month to women in Punjab, but this promise remains unfulfilled even today. Meanwhile, in Haryana, women are being provided Rs.2,100 per month under the Lado Laxmi Yojana. Poor families in Haryana are also being provided gas cylinders at Rs. 500. He further said that people who have been in possession of Panchayat land for more than 20 years have been given ownership rights as per rules, whereas in Punjab, housing-related cases are still stuck in legal processes.
The Chief Minister said that Minimum Support Price (MSP) is being given on all crops in Haryana. Besides this, if farmers get lower market prices for crops like potatoes, vegetables, bajra, or others, the loss is being compensated under the ‘Bhavantar Bharpai Yojana’. He recalled that on the jayanti celebration of Sant Shiromani Guru Ravidas Ji, Prime Minister, Sh. Narendra Modi visited Punjab and announced that Adampur Airport would be named after Guru Ravidas Ji, giving honour and respect to crores of his followers. He also said that the Prime Minister has announced plans to develop Jalandhar, Ludhiana, and Amritsar as industrial hubs, and these plans will be implemented with full strength once a BJP government is formed in Punjab.
He said that under the leadership of Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, development works are being carried out at a fast pace without any discrimination. When Punjab faced a natural disaster, the central government provided a relief package of Rs. 1,600 crore for Punjab and Rs.1,500 crore for Himachal Pradesh.

He said that this festival is not merely an event but a platform of the consciousness of a new India, where the youth are shaping the direction of nation-building through their ideas and resolve. The Chief Minister emphasized that Viksit Bharat does not only mean economic or technological progress, but also the creation of a society that is rich in thought, strong in values, and socially sensitive.
The Chief Minister highlighted that India is the youngest nation in the world and that this demographic strength is its greatest asset. Referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of ‘Viksit Bharat–2047’, he said that today’s students will be the leaders of that developed India, and therefore education must nurture not just skills but also values and national commitment.
The Chief Minister also participated in the lighting of the ‘Viksit Bharat Sankalp Jyoti’, calling it a symbol of collective resolve to contribute towards nation-building. He appreciated the festival’s role in spreading awareness about the Viksit Bharat mission among youth through literature, culture and dialogue.
He said under the Prime Minister’s leadership, sectors such as startups, innovation, digital technology, green energy and self-reliance are opening new avenues for youth. He added that the Haryana Government is actively working to empower young people through quality education, skill development, transparent recruitment, startup support and sports promotion.
He informed that in the past year alone, 34,000 youths were recruited into government jobs purely on merit without “kharchi-parchi”, and over the last 11 years, 1.8 lakh youths have been provided employment based on merit. He also spoke about steps taken to secure the future of youth working under the Haryana Kaushal Rozgar Nigam.
The Chief Minister further stated that to curb illegal migration through the “donkey route”, the Haryana Government passed a historic law in the Assembly on March 26, 2025 to regulate travel agents and prevent fraud. He also mentioned that 1.14 lakh youths have received skill training to enhance their global employability, and that the government has made provisions for up to ₹5 lakh collateral-free loans for differently-abled entrepreneurs.
Urging students to be solution-oriented citizens, Saini said that asking questions and seeking answers strengthens democracy. He emphasized the role of literature and culture in shaping socially aware and confident individuals.
Commending CGC University for aligning with national priorities, the Chief Minister said that such initiatives build leadership, confidence and patriotism among youth. He said ‘Viksit Bharat’ is not a distant dream but a goal that can be achieved through collective effort, strong leadership and the energy of India’s youth.

Haryana Chief Minister, Nayab Singh Saini on Tuesday visited Hira Mahal in Nabha, Punjab, where he attended the ‘dastaarbandi’ (turban-tying ceremony) of Kunwar Abhyuday Pratap Singh of the Nabha royal family. He congratulated the family on the occasion and paid obeisance before the Guru Granth Sahib ji.
Addressing the gathering, the Chief Minister said the day was a moment of great pride and significance for history and cultural heritage. He remarked that the ‘dastaarbandi’ of Kunwar Abhyuday Pratap Singh was not merely a private family event, but a revival of the rich legacy of the Phulkian dynasty, which has shaped the social and spiritual landscape of the region for centuries.
He said the occasion reminded everyone of the illustrious personalities of Nabha who left a lasting mark on history. Recalling Maharaja Hira Singh Ji, he said that his reign set new benchmarks in administrative excellence and cultural preservation. He also paid tribute to Maharaja Ripudaman Singh, whose courage and independent spirit remained steadfast even during British rule, never compromising on Sikh identity.
The Chief Minister further highlighted the deep spiritual blessings associated with the family, bestowed by the Tenth Sikh Guru, Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji, who had granted the divine boon, “Tera ghar, mera aasra”. This blessing, he said, continues to live on through the preservation and reverent care of the sacred relics of Guru Sahib at Hira Mahal.
Expressing confidence, the Chief Minister said he firmly believed that Kunwar Abhyuday Pratap Singh would carry forward this glorious heritage of faith and service to even greater heights.
