Haryana CM Saini claims AAP government betrayed Punjab farmers and women

Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini alleged the Punjab government failed to meet election promises regarding MSP and financial aid for women.

Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on November 9 alleged that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Punjab has failed to deliver on its election promises to farmers and women. According to reports from ANI and The News Mill, Saini claimed the ruling party secured votes through false commitments.

Saini stated that the AAP promised to buy all farmer produce at the Minimum Support Price (MSP) but did not honour this. He also questioned the delivery of a promised Rs 1,000 to women, alleging the government is involved in corruption.

Regarding the murder investigation of anti-drug activist Parvinder Singh Jhota, Saini noted that the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is currently probing the case to establish the facts. He described the CBI as an independent agency.

The Chief Minister compared stubble burning management in both states, noting that Haryana has supplied over 1.5 lakh agricultural implements at subsidised rates. He added that Haryana provides Rs 1,200 per acre to farmers who do not burn stubble.

Saini expressed a commitment to the welfare of Punjab, stating that if his alliance takes power, existing welfare schemes will continue. He also mentioned that Narendra Modi can make Punjab strong and prosperous.

On drug trafficking, Saini said the Haryana government has demolished properties worth more than Rs 12 crore belonging to offenders. He cited Union Home Minister Amit Shah's goal to make the country drug-free by 2029.
