CM Saini Promises Development for Punjab in Jalandhar Rally

Jalandhar, November 13 (Daily Kiran) : Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Saini addressed a rally in Jalandhar on November 13, 2026, as part of the campaign for the upcoming Punjab Assembly elections in 2027. During his speech, he launched a strong attack on the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government, asserting that if the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) comes to power, they will ensure Punjab becomes number one. He emphasized that the “lotus flower” symbolizes guaranteed development.

Saini remarked that while the AAP had promised change in 2022, the only visible change has been the hoardings on the streets. He expressed concern that every section of Punjab is currently discontented, citing deteriorating law and order and rising crime as the state’s most pressing issues. He called for leadership that listens to the public, makes timely decisions, and is accountable for its actions.

Questioning the AAP government, Saini demanded to know the tangible outcomes of their promises. He criticized the AAP for focusing more on publicity than on actual results, claiming that business owners and ordinary citizens in Punjab are living in fear. He accused the government of failing to clean up the state, despite their claims of doing so.

Addressing the youth, Saini highlighted the growing drug problem in Punjab, stating that the current government lacks a coherent policy to combat it. He assured the audience that under a BJP government, drug dealers would not be allowed to operate freely, even if it meant they had to flee to Pakistan.

The CM interpreted the crowd’s presence at the rally as a sign of impending change. He pointed out that previous Congress governments had gained power through deceit but failed to curb drug abuse. The AAP, he claimed, made false promises, including a commitment to eliminate drugs within six months and create jobs for 2.5 million youth. According to Saini, the public is aware that the government has not fulfilled these promises and is mired in corruption.

In contrast, he praised Haryana’s achievements, noting that over the past twelve years, the state has created more than 200,000 government jobs. He highlighted the progress made under the “double engine” government, placing Haryana at the forefront of development in various sectors. Saini concluded by stressing the need for a BJP government in Punjab to replicate this success.
