By The chief minister also gave an assurance to young people serving under the Agnipath scheme, saying no Agniveer from Haryana would be left without a job and that the state government was working to ensure 100% employment for them in government service. He also defended his administration’s recruitment record and claimed that thousands of young people had received appointments through a transparent process.
Saini promises jobs for Agniveers
Presenting his government’s performance at the event, Saini said recruitment and employment remained major priorities. He claimed that 16,000 to 17,000 young people had received joining letters within a period of two months, without the use of political influence or payment.
The chief minister said the state had provided government jobs to around 47,000 young people so far. According to him, the government had also prepared a plan for Agniveers, with administrative-level discussions already underway to work out the arrangements.
Saini said his government had focused on merit-based recruitment and accused previous administrations of failing to provide adequate opportunities to the state’s youth. He maintained that the government was continuing to work towards fulfilling the commitments made to voters.
Haryana claims full MSP procurement for farmers
Farmers and agricultural procurement were another major focus of Saini’s address. He claimed Haryana had become the first state in the country to purchase farmers’ entire produce at the Minimum Support Price (MSP).
Taking aim at the Aam Aadmi Party government in Punjab, Saini questioned which crops the neighbouring state was purchasing at MSP beyond the wheat and paddy procured by the Centre.
He also highlighted the payment system in Haryana’s mandis, saying farmers generally receive payments directly into their bank accounts within 48 to 72 hours of selling their produce.
The claims formed part of the chief minister’s broader argument that his government was prioritising farmers’ interests alongside employment and industrial growth.
Singapore, Japan investments highlighted
Saini also pointed to investment proposals emerging from his government’s overseas engagements. He said agreements worth around ₹5,500 crore had been secured during the Singapore visit, covering sectors such as healthcare, education and manufacturing.
He further said Japan had brought investment proposals worth approximately ₹5,000 crore, adding that around 60% of the proposed work had moved to the implementation stage. According to the chief minister, companies had acquired land and begun work on the ground.
The investments, he said, were expected to support industrial development and create more employment opportunities in Haryana. The figures and implementation claims were presented by Saini during the event.
Government steps up action against drug networks
On law and order, the chief minister said his administration had intensified action against drug traffickers and organised criminal networks. He claimed that authorities had demolished illegal assets worth thousands of crores of rupees linked to major drug operators.
Saini said the police had been given a free hand to act against criminals and added that around 14 hardened offenders who had fled abroad had been brought back to India through deportation.
His remarks came as he sought to present strict enforcement and public safety as important parts of the state government’s record.
Saini rules out alliance discussion with Akali Dal
Addressing questions about a possible alliance with the Shiromani Akali Dal, Saini said the BJP’s real alliance was with the people of Punjab. He also expressed confidence in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership.
The Haryana chief minister criticised Punjab’s AAP government, accusing it of failing to deliver on promises related to ending drug abuse and providing financial assistance to women. He used the phrase “Jhooth Aadmi Party” to attack the party, reflecting the political tensions between the BJP and AAP.
Through his address, Saini sought to underline his government’s claimed progress on manifesto commitments while defending its record on jobs, agriculture, investment and law enforcement. His figures and assurances remain claims made by the chief minister at the political event.
