Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Wednesday to congratulate him on leading the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to a historic third consecutive victory in the Haryana Assembly elections. The meeting came after the BJP secured 48 out of the 90 seats in the assembly, solidifying its position in the state.
In a post shared on social media platform X, PM Modi expressed his appreciation for Saini's leadership and the BJP’s accomplishment. He emphasized that Haryana’s role in contributing to India’s development will become even more significant under the leadership of Saini and the BJP. "I am confident that Haryana’s role is going to become more important in the resolution of developed India," Modi remarked.
Earlier, after the meeting with PM Modi, Chief Minister Saini attributed the BJP’s electoral victory to the Prime Minister’s leadership and the policies introduced over the past decade.
He acknowledged that the schemes brought forth by the central government have been highly beneficial to various sections of society, including the poor, farmers, youth, and women.
Saini highlighted that this win is a reflection of the people's love for PM Modi and their approval of his governance. In his statement, he thanked the people of Haryana for their support and expressed gratitude towards the party workers who played a crucial role in ensuring the victory.
The BJP's third consecutive term in Haryana is a remarkable achievement, especially in a closely contested election where the Congress secured 37 seats. Saini’s leadership during the campaign has been praised for maintaining the BJP’s dominance in the state, despite a strong challenge from the opposition.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Modi also took the opportunity to criticize the Congress party for raising concerns about the election process. During his address to BJP workers in Delhi, Modi alleged that Congress had attempted to tarnish the image of the Election Commission by filing a complaint regarding a “slowdown in updating results” during the Haryana polls. He accused the opposition party of trying to mislead the public and consistently undermining India’s key institutions.
Modi further pointed out that this is not the first time Congress has questioned the impartiality of national institutions, including the judiciary and police.
He claimed that before the Lok Sabha elections, the Congress and its allies had even approached the Supreme Court to question the Election Commission's credibility. According to him, these actions reflect the Congress party's pattern of challenging the integrity of democratic institutions whenever they face electoral defeats.
The recent election victory in Haryana is seen as a significant political win for the BJP, as it continues to consolidate its presence in northern India. The strong mandate received by the party in Haryana, despite challenges, reinforces PM Modi's national influence and the effectiveness of the BJP's governance model at the state level.
The outcome of this election also sets the stage for further developments in the state’s political landscape. As Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini begins his third term, the focus is likely to shift towards fulfilling campaign promises and implementing policies that aim to boost the state's development and economic growth.
His role in guiding Haryana in the coming years will be critical in shaping the state’s future and ensuring its alignment with the national vision of a "Developed India" that PM Modi often advocates for.
