Chandigarh: Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini said that while the Congress ruled the country for 55 years, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has transformed the nation’s image in just 11 years of governance. He said the Congress is not even fulfilling the role of a responsible opposition and should learn from the life of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee to understand what the role of an opposition should be.Nayab Singh Saini was addressing the media at Haryana Bhawan in Delhi on Friday.
The Chief Minister said that during Congress rule, the country was continuously trapped in corruption and development did not progress at the required pace. He stated that in 11 years, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has elevated India’s stature globally. He alleged that the Congress regime was marked only by corruption.
Allegations by AAP MLA are Fabricated
Nayab Singh Saini said that all allegations made by an Aam Aadmi Party MLA are baseless and fabricated. He said AAP is making such statements to hide its own failures. He alleged that AAP first showed false dreams to the people of Delhi and deceived them. Later, in Punjab, it made promises that remain unfulfilled, causing distress among the people there.
He said the people of Punjab first voted for Congress, but Congress betrayed them. Later, they voted for AAP, which he described as a “mega-deception.” He claimed that law and order in Punjab is in poor condition and farmers are facing severe hardships. Referring to flood compensation, he said that in Punjab, Arvind Kejriwal spoke of giving ₹20,000 as compensation to farmers, but in Gujarat he claimed that ₹50,000 had been given to Punjab farmers. He termed this as misleading farmers and reiterated that the MLA’s allegations are factually incorrect and aimed at hiding shortcomings. He accused AAP of indulging in pressure politics in Punjab and said the party should fulfill its promises made to the public.
Responding to a question related to Punjab, Nayab Singh Saini said Punjab is like home. He said whenever he is invited to Punjab, he visits there. He added that Punjab is the land of the Gurus, and it is a matter of pride that the Gurus also blessed the land of Haryana with their presence.
Building ‘Seva Teerth’ a commendable initiative
Responding to a question regarding the inauguration of the new Prime Minister’s Office complex, referred to as a “Seva Teerth,” Nayab Singh Saini said it is a commendable initiative. He said while the Congress ruled over people, the spirit of the government led by Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi is one of service.
On being asked about municipal corporation elections, he said that preparations are complete and that the people of Haryana have extended their full support and blessings.
