Haryana CM bats for delivery over promises

Crediting Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, Harvana CM Nayab Sing Saini said Haryana’s growth aligns with the vision of a “Developed India 2047.”

Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Tuesday said that unlike previous regimes, his government is focused on delivering on promises rather than merely making announcements, asserting that the state’s “double-engine government” has ensured time-bound implementation of welfare and development schemes.

Addressing the Unnat Sinchai Utsav 2026 held in Tosham in Bhiwani district, the Chief Minister said that announcements made during the Congress era were often “thrown into the dustbin,” while the present dispensation has taken concrete steps since 2014 to fulfil its commitments. “Our government is not limited to announcements; we are working to fulfil every promise promptly,” he said.

Before attending the event, Saini paid tribute to former Chief Ministers Chaudhary Bansi Lal and Chaudhary Surendra Singh. He highlighted their contribution in building a lift irrigation canal system in the Tosham-Loharu region, which brought canal water to sandy areas for the first time, transforming agriculture and livelihoods.

Emphasising his government’s performance, Saini said that out of 217 promises made in the party’s election manifesto, 60 have already been fulfilled within one-and-a-half years, while work is underway on the remaining 157. He termed the government’s third consecutive term as both an honour and a responsibility, adding that it reinforces their commitment to work with greater dedication.

The Chief Minister said that the state has implemented numerous welfare schemes with transparency, ensuring benefits reach every section of society. He claimed that in the Tosham constituency alone, 283 announcements have been made over the past 11.5 years, with 258 already completed.

Addressing concerns over fuel and essential supplies, Saini dismissed opposition claims of shortages, stating that adequate stocks of petrol, diesel, and cooking gas are available across Haryana. He urged people not to pay attention to rumours and said strict action has been taken against black marketing, including the registration of FIRs.

Highlighting farmer-centric initiatives, the Chief Minister said that all 24 crops are being procured at Minimum Support Price, with Rs. 1.64 lakh crore already transferred to over 12 lakh farmers. He added that mustard procurement has begun and wheat procurement will start from April 1. Over the past 11 years, Rs. 16,160 crore has been provided to farmers under the crop insurance scheme.

He also announced steps to expand gas pipeline infrastructure, reduce lease rent, and ensure uninterrupted supply. Plans to establish an Industrial Model Township (IMT) in Tosham were also unveiled, with an appeal to farmers to voluntarily register land on the e-Bhoomi portal.

On the development front, Saini inaugurated and laid the foundation stone of projects worth over Rs. 107 crore, including power substations, school infrastructure, and an aqua park. He said these initiatives would strengthen the electricity supply, improve education facilities, and boost rural infrastructure.
