With Modi in attendance, Saini to present report card on April 14

With Prime Minister Narendra Modi and thousands in attendance, Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini will present his government’s six-month report during Modi’s April 14 state visit.

In fact, Saini will utilise Modi’s visit to highlight development works undertaken in Haryana in the past six months in the presence of the large audience at the rallies before the people and the party top brass.

Sworn in as Chief Minister for the second time on October 17, 2024, Saini will complete six months in office on April 17.

The state unit of the BJP is already gearing up for Modi’s “thanksgiving visit”, the first after the historic hat-trick of the saffron party in the wake of the October 5, 2024, Assembly poll. It will be marked by mega two rallies -- in Yamunanagar and Hisar.

People from 12 districts will join the rally at Yamunanagar while those from 15 districts are expected to be in attendance at Hisar. The April 14 functions are coinciding with Dr BR Ambedkar anniversary celebrations across the country.

During his visit, Modi is set to lay the foundation stone of a new 800 MW Rs 7,272 crore unit at the Deen Bandhu Chhotu Ram Thermal Power Plant (DCRTPP) in Yamunanagar, besides the inauguration of the Hisar airport aimed to strengthen regional air connectivity.

“The pro-people policies of the triple engine government aimed at the welfare of all sections of society, including women, farmers, youth and the poor, will be highlighted by CM Saini in the presence of PM Modi, who would gift two mega projects to the state,” BJP chief Mohan Lal Badoli said.

A Budget provision of Rs 5,000 crore for providing Rs 2,100 under the ‘Lado Lakshmi Yojana’, the Har Ghar Grihini Yojana aimed at giving 15 lakh families cylinders at Rs 500, jobs to over 25,000 youths without ‘kharchi and parchi’, free dialysis facilities to kidney patients, ownership rights to persons in possession of land for over 20 years and announcement of MSP for 24 crops will be the some of the achievements which would be showcased at the rallies by the Chief Minister.

Saini has already claimed that the BJP government had fulfilled 18 promises of the ‘sankalp patra’ (election manifesto) in the first 100 days of its tenure and work was on for 10 other promises.
