Chandigarh, May 22 – Haryana Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini strongly criticized Punjab Chief Minister, Sh. Bhagwant Mann for his arrogant attitude regarding Haryana’s share of drinking water. He said that politicizing such a sensitive and essential issue reflects poorly on a public leader, especially during a time when serving water is considered an act of virtue across the country.
Citing the teachings of the Gurus and the humanitarian values deeply rooted in our culture, the Chief Minister emphasized that it is unbecoming of the Punjab government to defy judicial decisions on this matter. Punjab must abide by the verdicts of the Supreme Court and High Court and stop obstructing Haryana’s legitimate rights, he said. He appealed to the Punjab Chief Minister to rise above political considerations and fulfill his constitutional responsibility.
The Chief Minister said this during a press conference held at Ramkundi Dharamshala in Ladwa on Thursday.
Responding to a question, Sh. Nayab Singh Saini also shared details about his recent meeting with Prime Minister, Sh. Narendra Modi on the comprehensive development of Haryana.
He said that new opportunities are being created to ensure that development reaches every village and city. Under the Amrit Station Scheme, several railway stations are undergoing significant upgrades, he said.
Taking a dig at the Congress party, the Chief Minister said that people are well aware of the misgovernance in the past, whereas in the last ten years under Prime Minister, Sh. Narendra Modi’s leadership, the country has seen rapid and meaningful progress.
He also spoke about the Tiranga Yatras being carried out across Haryana, from Lok Sabha constituencies to villages, stating that these patriotic campaigns are uniting the nation and honouring our valiant soldiers.
Former Minister of State, Sh. Subhash Sudha, Chairman, Sh. Dharmbir Dagar, Deputy Commissioner, Neha Singh, and other dignitaries were also present at the event.
