Present Punjab government  has sold Dreams, Delivered Deception

Punjab will be developed on the lines of Haryana after formation of BJP Government: CM Nayab Singh Saini

Chandigarh, January 4 – Haryana Chief Minister, Sh. Nayab Singh Saini said that in the 2027 elections, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will form the government in Punjab under the leadership of Prime Minister, Sh. Narendra Modi and make Punjab one of the leading states of the country. He said that the leaders of the present Punjab government came to power by making false promises, but even after four years, instead of working in the interest of the people, they are exploiting Punjab. Drug addiction, unemployment and fake promises have ruined the state. He said that once the BJP government is formed in Punjab, development will be carried out on the lines of Haryana.

The Chief Minister was addressing a public gathering at the grain market of Ghanaur in Patiala district, located near the Haryana–Punjab border, on Sunday. He said that there was a time when it was said that there was no atmosphere for the BJP in Haryana, but after 2014, the situation changed and today the BJP is in power in Haryana for the third consecutive term. On similar lines, the BJP government will also be formed in Punjab.

The Chief Minister said that before coming to power, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) had promised to make Punjab drug-free, but instead drug abuse has increased in the state. Promises were made to provide employment to the youth, but even after four years, not a single promise has been fulfilled. The AAP had promised to give Rs. 1,000 to women, but it has not been given till date. It was also promised that senior citizens would be given a pension of Rs. 2,500, but even today only Rs.1,500 is being provided, that too after a delay of three to four months.

Sh. Nayab Singh Saini said that in Haryana, the BJP had promised to provide LPG cylinders at Rs. 500 and Rs. 2,100 to women after forming the government. As soon as the government was formed, the Rs.500 cylinder scheme was implemented, and now under the Lado Lakshmi Scheme, Rs. 2,100 is being provided to women, thereby fulfilling the promise. Senior citizens in Haryana are being given a pension of Rs. 3,200, which is the highest in the country. He said that before the elections, the Congress had put a ban on recruitment, and later the BJP promised that it would take oath later but issue appointment letters to the youth first. As soon as the BJP government was formed, the oath was taken later and appointment letters were issued to 25,000 youth. All crops of farmers in Haryana are being procured at MSP.

The Chief Minister said that a resolution was passed in the Haryana Vidhan Sabha to pay homage to the martyrdom of Sri Guru Teg Bahadur Ji, and his 350th martyrdom anniversary was observed with month-long programmes across the state. Essay writing, seminars and various activities were organised in schools and colleges to make the younger generation aware of his supreme sacrifice. To mark the occasion, 350 blood donation camps were organised, with 350 units of blood collected at each camp. The Haryana government is taking the saga of the sacrifices of the Gurus to every household. Last month, on the 25th, Prime Minister, Sh.Narendra Modi visited Kurukshetra and paid tribute to Sri Guru Teg Bahadur Ji by releasing a coin, a postage stamp and a coffee table book in his memory. Universities in Haryana are also being named after the Gurus.

He said that in Punjab, the doors of the AAP government shut after 5 pm. Taking a jibe at AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal, he said that no matter how many promises are made by them, they have nothing to deliver. The people of Punjab are bearing the brunt of this today. A once happy, prosperous and developed Punjab has been ruined by the Aam Aadmi Party government.

Giving details of the Haryana government’s schemes, the Chief Minister said that the Congress had talked about giving plots to the poor, but neither papers nor possession were given to them. Today, such people are being provided with plots along with possession.

The Chief Minister asked the Aam Aadmi Party government in Punjab and the earlier Congress governments to explain what they have done for the common people. Talking about crop damage compensation, he said that during ten years of Congress rule in Haryana, only Rs. 1,138 crore was paid as compensation, while the BJP government has so far given Rs. 15,500 crore to farmers. He said that Punjab suffered heavy losses during last year’s floods, and the Punjab government should clarify how much compensation was given to farmers. In contrast, the Haryana government has deposited Rs. 116 crore directly into the accounts of farmers whose crops were damaged. An amount of Rs. 5 crore was also provided as financial assistance to those whose houses and livestock were damaged.

He said that on the lines of the Ayushman Bharat scheme launched by Prime Minister, Sh. Narendra Modi, the Chirayu Scheme has been implemented in Haryana to provide healthcare facilities to the people. Out of a population of 2.5 crore, around 1.5 crore people are eligible under these schemes. So far, 25 lakh people have received treatment under these schemes. Taking a jibe, he said that the AAP government claims to have opened Mohalla Clinics, but there are no doctors available in them. Prime Minister, Sh. Narendra Modi has decided that treatment of citizens above 70 years of age will be borne by the government, and in Haryana, Rs. 8 crore has already been spent on the treatment of such senior citizens.

Chief Minister, Sh. Nayab Singh Saini said that only the BJP can take Punjab forward. He said that while corruption allegations were earlier levelled against the Congress, the present Punjab government has surpassed even the Congress in this regard, with its ministers behind bars. He alleged that they have looted the hard-earned money of the people of Punjab, and that the people are fed up with them. He said that in 2027, Punjab will stand with the BJP. Once a BJP government is formed in Punjab, Prime Minister, Sh. Narendra Modi will make Punjab the number one state in the country. Development on the lines of Haryana will also take place in Punjab, and together, everyone will take Punjab forward.

Former Minister, Sh. Aseem Goel, Former Member of Parliament from Patiala, Smt. Preneet Kaur and others also addressed the public gathering.
