Haryanas CM Nayab Saini criticizes Punjabs governance and calls for accountable leadership during a rally in Jalandhar.
Jalandhar, November 13 (Daily Kiran) : Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Saini addressed a rally in Jalandhar on Friday, sharply criticizing the governance of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). He highlighted issues such as deteriorating law and order, rising crime rates, and the drug menace, accusing the government of failing to fulfill its promises.
Saini expressed his respect for Jalandhar, a city blessed by gurus, saints, and martyrs. He warmly welcomed the local residents and emphasized the city’s rich history and culture. He noted that despite initial doubts about Haryana’s sustainability after its separation from Punjab, the state has thrived and reached new heights.
He pointed out that the past 12 years under a “double-engine” government have positioned Haryana among the leading states in terms of development. Saini remarked that while Punjab voted for change in 2022, only superficial changes, such as advertisements, have occurred.
The Chief Minister stated that all segments of Punjab’s society are currently dissatisfied. He stressed the need for leadership that listens to the people, makes timely decisions, and is accountable for its actions. He boasted that his government has fulfilled 70 of the 270 promises made in their election manifesto within just two years, challenging the AAP to showcase any tangible benefits from its commitments.
Saini highlighted the ongoing drug crisis as a major concern, with families across the state worried about their children’s futures. He lamented the deteriorating law and order situation and rising crime, claiming that citizens, including traders and entrepreneurs, are living in fear.
He accused the AAP government of prioritizing publicity over governance and criticized its lack of effective policies. Saini noted that over the past 12 years, more than 200,000 government jobs have been created, emphasizing his commitment to ensuring that development opportunities reach all social strata.
The Chief Minister insisted that Punjab’s aspirations should align with the nation’s development pace. He claimed that the BJP is focused on serving the state and improving its prosperity rather than merely seeking political power. He asserted that farmers, youth, and women deserve security, respect, equal opportunities, and pathways to self-reliance.
In a pointed jab at the AAP, Saini remarked, “The broom may not have cleaned anything, but it certainly emptied Punjab’s treasury.” He concluded by urging the people to join him in making Punjab one of the happiest, safest, and most vibrant states in India.
