Addressing people at the grain market, Saini accused the Aam Aadmi Party government of betraying public trust. He said Punjab continues to face drug abuse, unemployment, and corruption due to failed governance and broken promises.

Saini said the BJP would replicate Haryana’s development model in Punjab. He highlighted welfare schemes such as subsidised LPG cylinders, old-age pensions, crop compensation, and the Chirayu health scheme. According to him, these initiatives have improved lives across Haryana.

Criticising AAP, he said promises of a drug-free Punjab, women’s allowances, and pensions remain unfulfilled. He claimed the government lacks accountability and shuts down after office hours, leaving people helpless.

He further said the BJP focuses on farmers, education, and healthcare. Crop compensation and health schemes, he added, work efficiently under BJP rule.

Concluding his address, Saini alleged rising corruption in Punjab. He promised that under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, Punjab would emerge as a top-performing state.

Former Minister Aseem Goel, former MP Preneet Kaur, and senior BJP leaders were also present.
