Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on February 4, 2026, launched a sharp attack on the Congress, accusing the party of spreading confusion and making “illogical claims” instead of focusing on development. Speaking at a press conference in Chandigarh, he said the opposition has reduced politics to confrontation and social media noise.
Calling Congress a “tweet master party,” Saini claimed it survives on rhetoric rather than results. He argued that the BJP, under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, works on delivery and governance. He also said the party is steadily expanding its political footprint not only in Haryana but also in Punjab and West Bengal.
During the interaction with the media, the Chief Minister strongly criticised the Congress for its reaction to the Union Budget. He said many leaders began opposing the budget even before the speech was completed. According to him, some leaders rushed to Twitter midway and claimed Haryana received nothing, without reading the full details.
Saini described the budget as the second one under the Modi-led Government 3.0 and said it supports the vision of Viksit Bharat. He called it comprehensive and reform-oriented for the country’s 140 crore citizens, including around 2.80 crore people of Haryana. He added that Congress opposes the budget mainly to stay in headlines, not due to ideology.
Referring to Rahul Gandhi, Saini said the Congress leadership often makes statements that show a lack of seriousness. He cited Rahul Gandhi’s remarks during a Kurukshetra visit and called them an example of irresponsible political messaging.
The Chief Minister rejected claims such as “Haryana is missing from the budget” and termed them cheap politics. In his remarks, he said Congress-era budgets encouraged “revdi culture,” while the current government focuses on long-term reforms and infrastructure.
Highlighting development work, Saini praised road construction and claimed India has progressed rapidly in infrastructure. He also compared agricultural spending, stating that allocations rose from Rs. 25,000 crore during Congress rule to Rs. 1.62 lakh crore under the Modi government.
Warning against misinformation, Saini said public discourse should be based on facts rather than viral claims. He added that the government’s vision is to make youth job creators, not job seekers.
