New Delhi: Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Sunday said that Punjab youths are eager to walk shoulder to shoulder with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and move forward towards a bright future.
Saini, according to the statement released, said that “over the past 10 years, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has elevated India’s standing on the global stage and given the nation a new identity. Under his leadership, both the country and Haryana are progressing steadily.” He added that the people of Punjab, who have so far placed their trust in various political parties but received only disappointment, now look to PM Modi for the state’s development and prosperity.
According to the release, the Chief Minister made these remarks while addressing a felicitation ceremony organized in Zirakpur, where he was honoured by representatives of various Punjab-based organizations for his leadership and governance.
Reflecting on Haryana’s journey, Nayab Singh Saini said that since the formation of the BJP government in the state in 2014, the people have continuously expressed their trust and support. He recalled that when he took oath as Chief Minister on March 12, 2024, he had promised to provide 25,000 government jobs. Though the implementation was delayed due to the imposition of the Model Code of Conduct just 56 days later, he fulfilled his commitment by giving appointments before his swearing-in.
The release stated that the Chief Minister said that under PM Modi’s leadership, all government policies are focused on public welfare. In Haryana, all crops are being procured at Minimum Support Price (MSP), and he had advised the Chief Minister of Punjab to adopt the same model. However, the suggestion was not accepted. “When the BJP forms the government in Punjab, we will ensure procurement at MSP for farmers there too. Just like in Haryana, we will not allow the respect of Punjab’s farmers to diminish,” he stated.
As per the release, he said that the Haryana government not only guarantees full price for crops but also ensures direct compensation to farmers in case of crop damage. Drawing a comparison, he said “that during the tenure of the previous Congress government, farmers received only Rs 1,155 crore in compensation. In contrast, the current BJP government has disbursed Rs 14,500 crore over the past 10 years.”
As per the release, the Chief Minister said that although Haryana is considered the younger brother of Punjab, it has now surpassed Punjab in terms of development. He attributed this progress to the welfare-oriented policies of the state government, stating that Haryana is currently advancing at three times the pace. He added that, just as rapid development is taking place in Haryana, similar progress will be achieved in Punjab once a government is formed there under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
