Saini targets Cong, AAP on farmers' issues

Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini expressed his gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for introducing the One Nation, One Election Bill in Parliament today. He said the passing of this Bill will realise the Prime Minister's vision and holding elections simultaneously will save both time and money, ensuring that the development process continues smoothly in the country and states.

The Chief Minister made these remarks while speaking to mediapersons after the event where 25 vultures were released into the open at the Jatayu Conservation and Breeding Centre in Pinjore. Environment, Forests and Wildlife Minister Rao Nabir Singh was also present.

Saini criticised the Congress, stating that they have always been opposing the good work being done by the government. He pointed out that the Congress ruled the country for 55 years, and if they had ever made any significant decisions for the welfare of farmers, they should share. He also mentioned that the Congress currently governed Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka and Telangana, while the Aam Aadmi Party governed Punjab and Delhi. Despite this, farmers in these states are protesting and demonstrating. He accused both the Congress and the AAP on doing politics in the name of farmers.

The Chief Minister said the Haryana Government is consistently working in the best interest of farmers. He highlighted that the state government was purchasing 100 per cent crops at the MSP. Vegetable farmers are benefitting from the Bhavantar Yojana and subsidies are being provided under the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana and Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana.
