He added that studies would be conducted to explore the possibility of connecting Delhi Airport to Gurugram, Faridabad, and Jewar Airport via RRTS.

Delegation of Deprived Scheduled Castes meets CM, expresses gratitude for reservation decision
Chandigarh, October 22- Dignitaries of Deprived Scheduled Castes (DSC) from the state, led by Cabinet Minister Sh. Krishan Kumar Bedi and leading people of the society, expressed gratitude to Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini for implementing sub-classification in reservation for Deprived Scheduled Castes on Tuesday.
In a function organized at the Chief Minister's residence in Chandigarh, Social Justice, Empowerment, Scheduled Castes and Backward Classes Welfare and Antyodaya (SEWA) Minister Sh. Krishan Kumar Bedi and MLA Sh. Kapoor Singh Valmiki, on behalf of Haryana Scheduled Deprived Caste Society, honoured Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini by tying a turban on him. The Chief Minister, while saluting the people of the entire state including the Deprived Scheduled Castes, said all kinds of problems of Deprived Scheduled Castes will be resolved. Accepting the invitation given by the society, the Chief Minister also agreed to attend the rally organized by the society at any place in Haryana under the leadership of Cabinet Minister Sh. Krishan Kumar Bedi. The Chief Minister, while taking the name of each caste included in the DSC, saluted all of them and said the owner of the CM House are the people of Haryana. “You have given me the responsibility of a watchman here, and I am fulfilling it,” he said.
BJP does not play politics with the youth
Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini, while interacting with the representatives, said the BJP does not play politics with the youth. “When I took charge with the blessings of Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi, Home Minister Sh. Amit Shah, BJP President Sh. Jagat Prakash Nadda and Union Minister Sh. Manohar Lal, I gave appointment letters to the youth for 15,000 jobs. On this, the anti-youth Congress reached the Election Commission and opposed giving appointment letters to the youth. The Commission put a stay till the election results came, but our government fulfilled the promise and gave employment to 25,000 households as soon as the election results came. The government is trying to have HCS and IAS level officers in ordinary homes as well,” he said.
Cabinet Minister Sh Krishan Kumar Bedi, in his address, described Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini as a Dalit sympathizer. He said the fight for classification of Deprived Scheduled Castes in reservation is from the time of formation of Haryana. In the year 1994, the then Chief Minister Late Sh. Bhajan Lal had given rights to these castes, but in 2005, the then CM Bhupendra Singh Hooda snatched this right from the society. Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini has now fulfilled the demand of the society. Former Chief Minister Sh. Manohar Lal had given this right in education in 2020. Now the Scheduled Caste Deprived Society is grateful to the Chief Minister for the approval of the report for classification in jobs by the Chief Minister.
The Cabinet Minister also submitted a memorandum to the Chief Minister regarding many demands including making similar reservation arrangements in the civic elections, sending a representative from the society to the Rajya Sabha, making temporary sanitation workers permanent. On this occasion, Swami Swadesh Kapoor, MLA from Bawanikheda Sh. Kapoor Singh Valmiki, former MP Sunita Duggal, former Minister Sh. Bishambar Valmiki, former MLA Sh. Anoop Dhanak, Swami Sangamnath, former MLA Ishwar Plaka, Sh. Ramavatar Valmiki, former MLA Sh. Kulwant Bajigar, former HCS officer SH. Amarjit Singh and dignitaries from across Haryana from Scheduled Castes were present.
