Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini makes lasting impact in his first 100 days of second term

Haryana Chief Minister Naib Singh Saini has gained immense popularity for his efficient leadership, gentle style, and proactive governance.

Haryana Chief Minister Shri Nayab Singh Saini has become popular among the people due to his cheerful and soft-spoken style after proving majority for the first time in the Assembly on March 12, 2024 and his personality is more popular in the hearts of the people of the state than celebrities.&nbsp;
After the formation of Haryana, Shri Nayab Singh Saini is the first Chief Minister of the state who has gained popularity in such a short time due to his efficient working style, due to which the public has given the mandate to form the BJP government for the third time in Haryana.&nbsp;
In the second term of 100 days, the Chief Minister has succeeded in leaving an indelible mark in the hearts of the people.&nbsp;
Political experts believe that former Deputy Prime Minister and Haryana Chief Minister Chaudhary Devi Lal was also such a popular leader due to his sociable nature and due to this he was given the title of Tau.&nbsp;
Today, Shri Nayab Singh Saini's unique working style of meeting everyone easily has given him a different position in politics. The Chief Minister also keeps trending on social media platforms.&nbsp;
The number of his followers is increasing day by day. The Prime Minister has given the title of three 'V' to the Chief Minister Now the situation is such that even Prime Minister Mr Narendra Modi is impressed by the simple personality of the Chief Minister.&nbsp;
Whenever Prime Minister Mr Modi is present as the chief guest on any big political platform or other function in Haryana, he often awards Mr Nayab Singh Saini with the title of three 'V' in his address.&nbsp;
The Prime Minister says that Mr Nayab Singh Saini is humble, prudent and scholarly, who has gained political popularity as the Chief Minister in such a short time.&nbsp;
Words and actions are the same, there is neither oppression nor corruption, thousands of jobs are being given without any expenditure Now the people of the state say about the Nayab government that words and actions are the same, there is neither oppression nor corruption, thousands of jobs are being given without any expenditure.&nbsp;
During the assembly elections, when the result of more than 25 thousand candidates of Group-C was declared by the Haryana Staff Selection Commission, the Chief Minister Mr. Nayab Singh Saini had promised that he would take oath as the Chief Minister later and first give appointment letters to the youth.&nbsp;
On October 17, 2024, before taking oath in Panchkula, Mr. Nayab Singh Saini gave appointment letters to 25 thousand youth, after which he himself took oath. Opposition is also impressed with the working style of the Chief Minister Not only this, many opposition leaders of the state are also impressed by the working style of the Chief Minister.&nbsp;
Generally, the opposition in Haryana politics has a tradition that whenever the Chief Minister of the ruling party comes to their assembly constituency to attend a big rally, they try to foil it, but Chief Minister Mr. Nayab Singh Saini has been successful in changing this tendency of the opposition.&nbsp;
Recently, the Chief Minister had participated in the foundation stone laying ceremony of the medical college in Sirsa and according to the protocol, the local MLA Shri Gokul Setia was to be invited to this program, but when the MLA came to know that his name was not in the list of those welcoming the Chief Minister, he left from the Air Force Airport.&nbsp;
When Chief Minister Shri Nayab Singh Saini came to know about this, he called MLA Gokul Setia to the airport and waited for 5 to 10 minutes for the MLA to arrive. After this, the Chief Minister took MLA Gokul Setia in his car and took him to the venue of the function. Not only this, the Chief Minister also gave Gokul Setia a chance to speak from the stage.&nbsp;
This gentle style of the Chief Minister makes him stand out from other leaders. On January 20, 2025, Chief Minister Mr. Nayab Singh Saini held a development rally in his home constituency Narayangarh, where he inaugurated and laid the foundation stone of projects worth more than Rs 43.50 crore.&nbsp;
When the rally was addressed by local Congress MLA Mrs. Shaili Chaudhary, the people present could not help but be surprised, because Mr. Nayab Singh Saini has a close relationship with Shaili Chaudhary's husband, former MLA Mr. Ramkishan Gurjar in politics.&nbsp;
The Chief Minister gave Mrs. Shaili Chaudhary an opportunity to speak from the stage. Mrs. Shaili started her address by calling Mr. Nayab Singh Saini a popular Chief Minister and spoke for about 15 minutes and praised the demands of the Narayangarh assembly constituency as well as many works of the government and the Chief Minister.&nbsp;
In response to this, Chief Minister Mr. Nayab Singh Saini said in his address that Narayangarh is his home constituency. Whatever demands the MLA will make will not only be considered sympathetically, but will also be fulfilled.

"I’m left wondering—what just happened? Is there somewhere I can report this? I’m genuinely scared and unsure how to proceed to reach my station," the passenger wrote.

Gurugram Resident's Harrowing Ride: Uber Driver Sends Chilling Message 

"I&rsquo;m left wondering&mdash;what just happened? Is there somewhere I can report this? I&rsquo;m genuinely scared and unsure how to proceed to reach my station," the passenger wrote.

In a terrifying turn of events, a Gurugram resident had to abandon their travel plans and rush back to safety after receiving a bone-chilling message from an Uber driver. The incident, shared on Reddit by user kushpyro1 under the subreddit r/Gurgaon, unfolded on a Saturday morning when the resident booked a ride to Anand Vihar Terminal.
The user narrated the incident, revealing they had booked a Priority Sedan Cab to catch a train. As the driver neared their location, the passenger checked their phone to verify the OTP and stumbled upon a shocking message in the Uber chat: "I want to kidnap you."
"I am shivering while writing this. I have a train in an hour, and God knows if I&rsquo;ll reach there on time," the user wrote, recounting the ordeal.
A Narrow Escape
Panicked yet quick-thinking, the passenger immediately took a screenshot of the chat and attempted to cancel the ride. "When I began to cancel, the driver canceled the ride himself. I ran back into my house with my luggage," the post read. The driver, identified as Chandan, was reportedly driving a Maruti Suzuki Dzire.
Autocorrect or Threat?
The post included a screenshot of the chat where the driver&rsquo;s last message read, "I want to go to kidnap you happily." Reddit users were divided in their reactions. While some speculated it might have been an autocorrect error, others suggested reporting the incident to authorities or Uber&rsquo;s customer support.
Seeking Justice and Safety
"I&rsquo;m left wondering&mdash;what just happened? Is there somewhere I can report this? I&rsquo;m genuinely scared and unsure how to proceed to reach my station," the passenger wrote.
Some users advised the victim to escalate the matter by posting about it on X (formerly Twitter), as Uber actively responds to complaints there.
Uber's Accountability
Incidents like this raise concerns about passenger safety during app-based cab rides. Whether it was a horrifying typo or a sinister intention, such messages can traumatize passengers and highlight the need for stricter driver vetting and communication monitoring systems.
While the resident&rsquo;s quick actions ensured their safety, the incident is a grim reminder of the unexpected dangers that can arise during routine travel. Uber has yet to issue a statement on the matter.

. Locals noticed the fire, chased the bus and asked the driver to stop. They also informed the police and the fire department.

'We won floor test, will win it again': CM Nayab Saini amid Haryana political crisis

Meanwhile, BJP candidate from Chandigarh, Sanjay Tandon, and CM Nayab Saini took out a joint roadshow in the capital city on Friday

Amid the intriguing sequence of events amid the festering political crisis in the state, Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini addressed media persons on Friday, saying that the Opposition was misleading the people.
Digging in his heels amid claims by the Congress and the JJP that his government was in a minority after three Independent MLAs in their support switched sides, CM Saini called on the Opposition to come clean on the number of legislators who are with them and state the same in writing to the Governor.
Earlier, on Thursday, the JJP chief and former deputy chief minister Dushyant Chautala wrote to Governor Bandaru Dattatreya, urging his intervention to end the political stalemate in the state. He called on the Governor to seek a floor test at the earliest and impose Presidents' Rule in the state if the government failed to prove its majority in the Assembly.
Playing down the Opposition claims that the BJP was presiding over a minority government, CM Saini said, "They (Opposition) have nothing to do with the people and only want to mislead them. They should give in writing to the Governor as to how many MLAs they have in their support and not mislead the people. We won the trust vote recently and will win it again if asked to prove majority in the House. They are merely trying to distract public attention from other issues. Corruption and scams were rampant under the previous Congress rule in the state."

Amid the looming political crisis Haryana CM Nayab Saini on Wednesday asserted that his govt is not in trouble and is working strongly. 

Haryana politics: Congress seeks dismissal of BJP govt, fresh polls in state

Amid the looming political crisis Haryana CM Nayab Saini on Wednesday asserted that his govt is not in trouble and is working strongly.&nbsp;

The Congress on Wednesday sought the imposition of President's Rule followed by fresh polls in Haryana after three Independent MLAs withdrew support to the BJP dispensation, reducing the Nayab Singh Saini government to a minority in the state assembly.
The party said it would write to Haryana Governor Bandaru Dattatreya to demand that the BJP government be dismissed. It also asked the JJP, the INLD and Independent MLA Balraj Kundu to write similar letters to the governor to give credence to their claim of opposing the BJP.
Talking to reporters in Sirsa on Wednesday, Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini asserted that his government was not in trouble and was working strongly.
"We are going to write to the Governor that three Independent MLAs have withdrawn support and they have extended support to our party... the government is in the minority and they have no right to stay in power. We will demand that the government be dismissed, President's Rule be imposed and fresh elections be held," Haryana Congress chief Udai Bhan said.
"Likewise, the JJP should also write a letter that the government be dismissed. INLD's Abhay Singh Chautala and Independent MLA Balraj Kundu, who claim to be opposing the government, should also write similar letters to the Governor," he added.
Bhan said the three Independent MLAs have already written to the Governor regarding their withdrawal of support.
Senior Congress leader B B Batra said the Jannayak Janta Party (JJP), once an ally of the BJP in the state, should write to the Governor making it clear that they were not supporting the dispensation.
On Tuesday, JJP leader Digvijay Singh Chautala said Leader of Opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda should initiate the process to "bring down" the Nayab Singh Saini government "which has lost the trust of people".

JJP leader Dushyant Chautala said if a no-confidence motion is brought in the Assembly, they will vote against the Saini government.

JJP's Dushyant Chautala 'ready' to support Cong to bring down BJP govt in Haryana 

JJP leader Dushyant Chautala said if a no-confidence motion is brought in the Assembly, they will vote against the Saini government.

BJP's former ally Jannayak Janata Party said on Wednesday that it is ready to help the Congress bring down the BJP government in Haryana, a day after three Independent MLAs withdrew support to the ruling party.
Claiming that the BJP government is reduced to a minority, the Congress, on its part, demanded the imposition of the President's rule and early assembly elections in the state.
However, Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini asserted that his government is not in any trouble. His predecessor and party colleague M L Khattar also claimed that many MLAs are in touch with the BJP and there is "nothing to worry ".
Independent MLAs Sombir Sangwan (Dadri), Randhir Singh Gollen (Pundri) and Dharampal Gonder (Nilokheri) withdrew support to the ruling BJP in Haryana on Tuesday and announced that they would back the Congress.
The fast-paced political developments in the state come at a time when Lok Sabha polls are just a fortnight away and Assembly elections are scheduled to be held in October.
Speaking to reporters in Hisar, Jannayak Janata Party (JJP) leader Dushyant Chautala said if a no-confidence motion is brought in the Assembly, they will vote against the Saini government.
"I want to tell Leader of Opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda that going by the present numbers in the Assembly, when this government is in a minority, if a step is taken that this government is brought down during (Lok Sabha) elections, then we will fully consider to support them in this from outside".
"Now, the Congress has to think whether they will take a step to bring down the BJP government," Chautala said.
Reacting to this, Congress leader Hooda said, "They should write to the Governor (that government is in a minority)".
Dushyant Chautala also ruled out reviving his party's alliance with the BJP. The two parties had snapped ties in March.
"I have made it quite clear that JJP will not go with BJP now," Chautala said and demanded that Saini should either prove majority or submit his resignation.
The 90-member Haryana assembly at present has an effective strength of 88 with Karnal and Rania assembly seats being vacant. The BJP has 40 MLAs, the Congress 30 and the JJP 10 in the House. INLD and Haryana Lokhit Party has one member. Independents are six.
The government has the support of two of the Independent legislators.
Independent MLA Nayan Pal Rawat said he had given unconditional support to the BJP in 2019 and it is continuing even now.
"The government is not in any trouble, it is working strongly," Chief Minister Saini told reporters at Sirsa while replying to queries on the withdrawal of support.
However, Hooda said the Saini government is in a minority and it has no moral right to stay in power.
INLD's lone MLA Abhay Singh Chautala said that either the government should prove it has a majority or else "Governor's rule should be imposed".
Hitting out at the Congress, Saini said the opposition party's actions are only aimed at fulfilling the personal aspirations of some people. But the people of Haryana will not let the Congress' designs succeed, the chief minister said, adding the entire country is witnessing the "misdeeds" of the opposition party.
Later in Karnal, Saini said Congress has been rejected by various sections and is sinking.
About the three Independent MLAs, Saini said, "They are able legislators. How did fall into the (Congress) trap.... Four days ago I called them and spoke to them," said Saini.
Former chief minister Khattar downplayed the developments."During election season, who is going where is not going to have much impact. Many MLAs are in touch with us also, so no one should worry about this," he told reporters in Karnal.
In Chandigarh, while replying to a question, Haryana Assembly Speaker Gian Chand Gupta said that the Saini government had won the trust vote on March 13.
"How can we say that the government is in a minority? It is intact and running as it was earlier," he told reporters.
Asked if a no-confidence motion can be brought against the government, the Speaker said, "Usually, when a no-confidence is brought, another one can only be brought six months after that. It is a technical matter." Haryana Congress chief Udai Bhan said the party will write to the governor stating that the Saini government is in a minority and that it should be dismissed, the President's Rule imposed in the state and fresh polls announced.
The opposition party also asked the JJP, the INLD and Independent MLA Balraj Kundu to write similar letters to the governor to give credence to their claim of opposing the BJP.
Asked about some JJP MLAs indicating support to the BJP after his party pulled out of the coalition government in March, Dushyant Chautala said notices have been issued to three of them and they have been asked to submit a reply.
He said his party MLAs are bound by whip and if anyone wants to extend support against the party line they will have to resign first.
JJP MLAs Jogi Ram Sihag and Ram Niwas Surjakhera have extended support to the BJP in the ongoing Lok Sabha polls. JJP's Devender Babli has also called a meeting of his supporters in Tohana on May 11 to decide on the future course of action. Sources said another JJP MLA Ram Karan Kala is also contemplating similar action.
Saini had replaced Manohar Lal Khattar as chief minister in March and the JJP's four-and-a-half-year-old post-poll alliance with BJP had come to an end.
State Assembly polls in Haryana are due in October while the Karnal Assembly bypoll is scheduled for May 25 along with voting to the 10 Lok Sabha seats in Haryana.
Saini, the MP from Kurukshetra in the outgoing Lok Sabha, is the BJP candidate for the bypolls and if he wins, the party's strength in the Assembly will rise to 41.&nbsp;

The Congress candidate reiterated earlier that his family had arrived in Ambala after the country's Partition, hence he's not an outsider. 

Congress' Gurugram candidate Raj Babbar dismisses 'outsider' notion

The Congress candidate reiterated earlier that his family had arrived in Ambala after the country's Partition, hence he's not an outsider.&nbsp;

Ever since Congress announced actor-turned-politician Raj Babbar's candidature from Haryana's Gurugram Lok Sabha constituency, the party has been targeted for fielding an 'outsider' on the seat. However, Babbar on Tuesday dismissed the notion that he is an outsider in Gurgaon, considering it a cosmopolitan city.&nbsp;
Speaking to news outlet Indian Express, Babbar stated, "Gurgaon has been developed by outsiders. Moreover, individuals contesting elections in various cities are not necessarily from those cities, rendering this argument irrelevant. We are all Indians. They rely on these arguments as their strategies have proven ineffective over the years and fail to resonate with the people." Babbar's remarks came while campaigning in Haryana's Mewat and Nuh.&nbsp;
The Congress candidate reiterated earlier that his family had arrived in Ambala after the country's Partition, hence he's not an outsider.&nbsp;
Babbar, a former parliamentarian has contested Lok Sabha Polls from different constituencies in the past, however this time, the grand old party pitted him against incumbent MP, BJP's Rao Inderjit Singh, a five-time parliamentarian, of which he has served as Gurgaon MP on three occasions (2009-till present).&nbsp;

"The government is not in any trouble, it is working strongly," Saini told reporters in Sirsa when asked to comment on the withdrawal of support.
Saini was campaigning for BJP's Sirsa Lok Sabha candidate Ashok Tanwar.
The government which has the support of two other Independents is now two short of the majority mark in the 90-member House which has a current strength of 88.

The letter further said all the presidents of auto unions have been informed that action will be taken for not complying.&nbsp;

Action will be taken against auto drivers who don't wear uniforms and display unique identity badges, police said on Tuesday.
According to a letter issued on Monday by Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) traffic Virender Vij, May 20 has been set as the deadline for the auto drivers to comply with the order.
"All the presidents of the auto unions of district Gurugram are informed that by May 20 all the auto drivers should wear grey-coloured uniforms with the badge stitched on the left side. After this, as per the instructions of the transport commissioner, Haryana, the auto drivers who do not follow the order will be challaned under the section 177 of the Motor Vehicles Act," the letter stated.
"Dress code for auto drivers is already in force in Gurugram but some auto drivers are still not following the order. We have now given them time till May 20, after which strict action will be taken against auto drivers who do not follow the order," DCP Vij said.

Haryana political crisis: Dushyant Chautala says Hooda should initiate process to bring down BJP govt 

Months after the Haryana govt witnessed a quick shift of leadership, yet another crisis is in the offing after three independent MLAs withdrew support from the govt bringing it into the minority.&nbsp;

Hours after three Independent MLAs withdrew support to the BJP government in Haryana, JJP leader Digvijay Singh Chautala Tuesday said Leader of Opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda should initiate the process to "bring down the government which has lost trust of people".
Chautala said Hooda should immediately meet the governor and apprise him of the situation.
Three Independent MLAs withdrew support to the Nayab Singh Saini government and announced they would back the Congress, reducing the government to a minority in the state assembly.
The government which has the support of two other Independents is now two short of the majority mark in the 90-member House which has a current strength of 88.
Independent MLAs Sombir Sangwan (Dadri), Randhir Singh Gollen (Pundri) and Dharampal Gonder (Nilokheri) announced their decision at a press conference in Rohtak in the presence of Hooda and state Congress chief Udai Bhan.
"Hooda says the government is in a minority. He is the Leader of Opposition and should immediately meet the governor and apprise him of the developments," Chautala said.
When asked whether JJP will extend support to the Congress, Chautala told PTI over phone, "I am not saying JJP is willing to support and form a government with the Congress. At least the government that has lost trust of people, Hooda should initiate the process to bring it down." "Whether the JJP forms the government or whether the Congress forms the government, who supports whom...it is a political question," the Jannayak Janata Party (JJP) leader said.
He also said that in addition to meeting the governor, Hooda should also open a channel of communication with the JJP, which has 10 MLAs.

Police investigate a gang-rape in a train coach that left a woman severely injured. CCTV footage is being reviewed to identify suspects.

Horrific Gang-Rape on Train, Police Investigate

A female victim suffered a brutal assault in a train coach. Police seek the suspects using CCTV footage as investigations continue.

A woman was gang-raped in a train coach and later severely injured. Police are reviewing CCTV footage for suspects.

Police on Tuesday said they were scanning CCTV camera footage to identify the accused involved in the gang-rape of a 35-year-old woman in an empty coach of a stationary train here.
According to a complaint lodged by her husband, the woman had gone missing after she left home on June 24. The missing complaint was filed on June 26.
She lost her leg when a train went over her after the incident, and was undergoing treatment at a hospital in Rohtak.
According to the police, the woman told them that she was sitting at a nearby railway station on the night of June 24 when a person, claiming to have been sent by her husband, approached her.
"She said he took her with him and boarded an empty bogie of a stationary train where he raped her. Later, two other men joined him and they too raped her," Shri Niwas, the SHO of Quilla police station said earlier.
The Quilla police station filed a Zero FIR in connection with the incident and later forwarded it to the Panipat Government Railway Police (GRP) for further action.
Police had earlier said the traumatised woman had also told them that she was taken to Sonipat later, where the accused threw her on the tracks and she lost her leg when a train went over her.
However, on Tuesday, the GRP said the woman claimed the train went over her as she fell on the tracks when she was walking after the accused fled.
GRP Inspector Rajesh said multiple police teams were at the job and further investigation was underway.
"The woman is traumatised and has not given a clear statement. She would be counselled," he said.
A Zero-FIR can be filed in any police station, irrespective of the place of incident/jurisdiction, and it can be later transferred to the appropriate police station.

Haryana's Governor revisits India's Emergency of 1975, highlighting constitutional rights violations and recounting personal experiences of evasion and imprisonment.

Haryana Governor on 1975 Emergency  in India

Haryana Governor Bandaru Dattatreya recalls the 1975 Emergency, describing it as a 'dark period' in India's history. He shares his experiences of evading arrest as an RSS functionary, imprisonment under MISA, and the unwavering resolve bolstered by his mother's support.

Haryana Governor Bandaru Dattatreya called the 1975 Emergency a 'dark period,' sharing his experience evading capture and imprisonment.

Haryana Governor Bandaru Dattatreya on Monday reflected on the Emergency, calling it a "dark period" in post-Independence India's history when constitutional rights were crushed.
Ahead of the 50th anniversary of the Emergency's imposition in 1975, Dattatreya, who was an RSS functionary at that time, shared his personal experiences of evading arrest and his imprisonment.
Upon declaration of Emergency on June 25, 1975, he had received instructions to avoid arrest as many activists were already rounded up.
"The rules of the Constitution that safeguard democracy were all crushed (during Emergency)," he told PTI Videos here.
To evade authorities, he said he went underground and adopted a new appearance by wearing a suit and tie and even changed his name to 'Dharmendra'.
His primary role while underground was to organise activists across various locations against the Emergency, and also ensuring their safety and providing support to the families of leaders who were arrested.
In one instance, Dattatreya and fellow activists attempted to hold a covert political meeting under the guise of a Satyanarayana Puja near a temple.
As police converged on the location, Dattatreya said he and present Tripura Governor N Indrasena Reddy managed to escape by scaling a 20-foot wall.
While Reddy escaped unharmed, Dattatreya hurt his leg in the process.
Eventually, he was arrested and imprisoned under the Maintenance of Internal Security Act (MISA). and lodged in Chanchalguda Jail in Hyderabad, where he was held alongside several political prisoners.
During his incarceration, he learned of his elder brother's demise. He was granted parole to attend the funeral, during which he was advised by a relative to secure his release through a deal by giving in writing to the government that he would not be part of such activities again.
However, encouragement from his mother strengthened his resolve to stay committed to the cause.

Influencer Jyoti Malhotra's custody extended amidst espionage allegations, with links to Pakistani intelligence being scrutinized.

Custody Extended of Jyoti Malhotra in Espionage Case

Jyoti Malhotra faces extended custody as espionage allegations unfold, involving contacts with Pakistani operatives like Ehsan-ur-Rahim.

Jyoti Malhotra's judicial custody extended amid espionage investigation, with links to Pakistani operatives, notably Ehsan-ur-Rahim.

A court here on Monday extended the judicial custody by 14 days of social media influencer Jyoti Malhotra arrested last month on the suspicion of espionage.
The Hisar Police arrested Malhotra, who ran a YouTube channel 'Travel with JO', on the suspicion of espionage on May 16. Hailing from Hisar, the Youtuber was arrested at the New Aggarsain Extension and booked under provisions of the Official Secrets Act and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
Malhotra's lawyer Kumar Mukesh said, "Her judicial remand has been further extended by 14 days and the next date of hearing has been fixed by the court on July 7." The 33-year-old YouTuber appeared before the court through video-conferencing, he said.
Earlier on June 9, another court here had rejected her regular bail plea.
Police had opposed the bail and argued that the investigation in this case was still going on.
After her arrest on May 16, Malhotra was remanded to five days of police custody by the court.
Following the completion of the remand, the court extended the custody by four more days after the police sought to question her further.
On May 26, the court remanded her to judicial custody for 14 days, which was further extended later.
The Hisar Police previously said no evidence had emerged to indicate Malhotra had access to any military or defence-related information but claimed she was in contact with some people, aware that they were Pakistani intelligence operatives.
Police sources had previously said she was in touch with Ehsan-ur-Rahim alias Danish, a staffer at the Pakistani High Commission, since November 2023.
India expelled Danish on May 13 for allegedly indulging in espionage.
Police had last month claimed that Pakistani intelligence operatives were developing Malhotra as an "asset".

Modis 11-Year Leadership: Praised by Haryana CM

CM Saini commends Modi on transformative leadership, marking 11 years of progress, while sharply criticizing the UPA era for corruption. He emphasizes reforms, transparency, and economic growth under Modi.

CM Saini lauds Modi's leadership for transformative achievements, contrasting it with UPA's era of corruption and stagnation. He highlights governance reforms and economic progress under Modi.

Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Tuesday said while there was a policy paralysis in the country under the erstwhile UPA government, the country has marched on the path of development under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's "decisive leadership".
India now takes pride in its heritage and faces challenges strongly, Saini said at a press conference in Haryana's Panchkula on the completion of the Modi government's 11 years in office.
He was flanked by ministers Shyam Singh Rana, Krishan Lal Panwar, Arvind Sharma, Mahipal Dhanda, Krishan Kumar Bedi and Vipul Goel, and Haryana BJP president Mohan Lal Badoli.
The country has seen 11 "glorious" years under the PM's leadership, Saini said.
"During these 11 years, we have seen the rise of an India which takes pride in its heritage, faces challenges strongly and weaves ambitious dreams for the future," he said.
He also hit out at the erstwhile Congress-led UPA government, saying it was plagued with corruption and policy paralysis.
"It was a regime deeply immersed in scams and scandals. There was an atmosphere of negativity, fear and hopelessness," he said, adding that this blocked the country's development.
During those days, corruption, regionalism and nepotism ruled the roost, and a transparent administration was lacking, the chief minister alleged.
Under Prime Minister Modi, the country experienced a decisive leadership and a transparent administration. There has been an unprecedented change in the work culture and time-bound implementation of policies has been ensured, Saini said.
"Working on the principle of minimum government, maximum governance, processes have been simplified and public participation has been encouraged," he said.
The country has also made rapid economic progress in the last 11 years, he added.
Saini also spoke about the steps taken by the Modi government for the welfare of various sections of society, including the poor, the Scheduled Castes and Other Backward Classes.
He also touched upon a number of steps and initiatives taken for the welfare of the farmers.
