He said that India is moving rapidly towards becoming a developed nation under the Prime Minister’s visionary leadership and that the country’s standing and prestige on the global stage have grown significantly.
The Chief Minister was interacting with the media persons after offering prayers at the Mata Mansa Devi Temple on the first day of Ashwin Navratri.
Sh Nayab Singh Saini said that India had made remarkable progress in development through the policies of Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi and the collective efforts of its 1.4 billion citizens. Targeting the Congress, he alleged that despite its long tenure in power, the party had failed to advance the country with clear policies and strong political will.

He said that people had become increasingly aware of the opposition’s political approach.
*Merit-based recruitment creating opportunities for youth*
The Chief Minister said that the Haryana government is committed to the welfare of the poorest sections of society and the balanced development of all sections.

Highlighting the state’s recruitment system, Sh. Nayab Singh Saini said that government jobs were being awarded on merit without kharchi-parchi (bribes or political recommendations). He alleged that nepotism and corruption had prevailed in recruitment before 2014, whereas the present government was prioritizing transparency, fairness, and merit.
*Strong law and order remain a government priority*
Addressing the issue of law and order, the Chief Minister said that maintaining peace and ensuring the safety of citizens were among the government’s foremost priorities. He alleged that during previous Congress governments, an atmosphere of fear had prevailed and people had often faced difficulties even in getting FIRs registered.
He said that the present government had issued strict directions to the police to maintain law and order and take firm action against anti-social elements. Anyone attempting to threaten or intimidate others would face action in accordance with the law, he added.
The Chief Minister reiterated that the government is committed to ensuring a safe environment in which every citizen could live without fear.
*BJP will form government in Punjab in 2027: CM*

He said that the youth, women, farmers, and economically weaker sections of Punjab were looking towards the leadership of Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi and wanted to strengthen the BJP.
Comparing Haryana and Punjab, the Chief Minister said that Haryana’s youth were bringing laurels to the state by winning medals in sports and performing well in competitive examinations. He also expressed concern over drug abuse among young people in Punjab and stressed the need for effective measures to address the problem.
Targeting the Aam Aadmi Party government in Punjab, Sh. Nayab Singh Saini alleged that it had failed to fulfil the promises made to the public in the name of honest governance. He claimed that the people of Punjab had become aware of the government’s shortcomings and are ready for a political change in the upcoming Assembly elections.
The Chief Minister expressed confidence that the BJP would secure public support in Punjab on the issues of development, transparent governance, youth empowerment, and public welfare.

On the occasion, the Chief Minister paid his humble tributes to Maharaja Agrasen, a symbol of non-violence, socialism and compassion, and extended heartfelt greetings to the people of the country on his birth anniversary and the occasion of Navratri.
The Chief Minister said that Maharaja Agrasen was not only a great luminary of the Aggarwal community but also of the entire Indian society. He introduced the unique and visionary tradition of ‘one brick and one gold coin’ in his kingdom to help every new family become self-reliant. By completely prohibiting animal sacrifice, he established non-violence as a social principle in human history.
Sh. Saini said that the history of the Aggarwal community has always been distinguished by its contributions to nation-building, philanthropy and service to humanity. He specifically recalled the contributions of Bhamashah, along with freedom fighters, saints, litterateurs and industrialists who have brought honour to the community in India and across the world.
Reiterating Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi’s guiding principle of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Prayas’, the Chief Minister said that initiatives such as GST, Digital India and Startup India have taken the business sector to new heights. Expressing concern over the prevailing situation in Punjab, he said that the state’s traders and youth today aspire for a secure environment, a transparent system and positive change.
Presenting an overview of Haryana’s industrial and economic development, Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini said that under the vision of ‘Viksit Haryana 2047’, the state government is working towards the goal of building a USD 1 trillion economy and generating 5 million new employment opportunities.
Haryana ranks fourth in the country in terms of startup culture, with more than 12,000 recognised startups, 19 unicorns and over 250 Fortune 500 companies. Under its Ease of Doing Business initiatives, the state government has taken several landmark steps to strengthen industries and the MSME sector, including the introduction of the Plug-and-Play policy, the PADMA programme and the abolition of more than 1,100 redundant regulations.
He expressed confidence that if Punjab also adopts a development-oriented governance model along the lines of the double-engine government, entrepreneurs in the state would benefit from excellent facilities and a more conducive business environment.
