Cong always critical of PM's pro-farmer steps:  CM Saini

Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini has said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has undertaken numerous historic initiatives for the welfare of farmers over the past 10 years, which has caused discomfort to other political parties. Saini added that the Congress and other parties in the INDIA bloc frequently question and politicise every pro-farmer decision made by the Prime Minister.

The Haryana Government procures all crops at the minimum support price (MSP) and continuously works towards empowering them. He said the Congress government should also decide on strengthening farmers in the state it governs.

The Chief Minister made the comments while interacting with the media after inaugurating a craft exhibition in Chandigarh. He said the Punjab Government should also procure crops at MSP.

Lauding the Union Cabinet's decision to approve the ‘one nation, one election’ vision, the Chief Minister said this move would save both time and money, benefiting the common people significantly. It will also expedite development works, ensuring that India becomes a developed nation by 2047.

Responding to the Punjab CM's statement that ‘one nation, one election’ could harm regional parties, he said the AAP government had failed to meet the expectations of its people in Punjab and Delhi. He advised leaders to focus on improving people's lives, providing clean drinking water to Delhi residents, and cleaning the Yamuna. He said people had understood AAP's reality and were eagerly waiting for the Delhi elections to throw them out of power.

Targeting the Congress, the Chief Minister said the people have now rejected the Congress because its leaders lie and have used deceit to gain power in states like Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka, and Telangana. However, those governments have not worked in the interest of the people. This is evident from Congress's debacle in Haryana and Maharashtra, said Saini.
