Haryana Chief Minister Sh Nayab Singh Saini said that the Bharatiya Janata Party’s historic and decisive victory in the civic body elections reflects the people’s wholehearted support for the politics of development, good governance, transparency, and nationalism under the leadership of Prime Minister Sh Narendra Modi. He thanked the people of Haryana for giving the BJP this overwhelming mandate.
The Chief Minister was addressing a felicitation ceremony in Panchkula on Thursday as the Chief Guest, organized to honour the newly elected Mayors, Chairpersons, and Councillors of the urban local bodies.
He also expressed gratitude to the dedicated BJP workers who, despite the scorching heat, worked tirelessly to take the government’s welfare policies to every household. The Chief Minister said that the people of Haryana, through these civic body elections, have firmly rejected the Congress party’s politics of dynasticism, falsehood, misinformation, and negativity, while endorsing the BJP’s development-oriented governance model.
Taking a sharp dig at the Congress, the Chief Minister said the election results have sent a clear message that people now expect performance, not mere rhetoric; delivery, not hollow promises. He added that, with development as their priority, the people of the state have chosen to establish a “Triple-Engine Government” in the urban local bodies.
Sh Nayab Singh Saini said that the overwhelming support extended to the BJP by the people of Haryana is a victory for Prime Minister Sh Narendra Modi’s pro-poor welfare policies, the spirit of Antyodaya, and the guiding mantra of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, and Sabka Prayas.” He said that today, the poor, farmers, youth, women, traders, and employees across the country feel a sense of security and confidence under the leadership of the Prime Minister. He added that this growing trust among the people is the key reason behind the BJP’s continuous electoral success across the nation.
The Chief Minister said that after securing decisive victories in the municipal corporation elections in Hisar, Gurugram, Yamunanagar, and Faridabad, the BJP has now also received one-sided support from the people in the municipal elections of Panchkula, Ambala, and Sonipat. He stated that public trust in the BJP’s development-oriented policies continues to grow steadily across elections to municipal corporations, councils, and committees.
He said that the past 11 years have witnessed remarkable and positive transformations across the country. While India has achieved new milestones on the global stage, Haryana has also set new benchmarks in various sectors. The welfare initiatives of both the Central and State Governments have strengthened the poor and farmers, while bringing meaningful and positive changes to the lives of women.
Referring to the recent electoral victories in Assam and West Bengal, the Chief Minister said that the people of West Bengal had also acknowledged and appreciated the development works carried out by the double-engine government in Assam, and consequently expressed their faith in the BJP. He expressed confidence that, in the upcoming elections, the people of Punjab would also repose their trust in the policies of Prime Minister Sh Narendra Modi and ensure the victory of the Lotus.
