Committed to fulfilling promises: CM Nayab Singh Saini

Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini emphasised that women will play a crucial role in a developed India, as envisioned by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He highlighted that the central government, under PM Modi, is continuously launching welfare schemes for the empowerment of women.

Saying that his party manifesto is “like the Gita”, Saini said, “The government treats its election manifesto as sacred as the Bhagavad Gita, and is committed to fulfilling every promise made to the people. Unlike Opposition parties, who forget their manifestos once in power, the BJP is continuously working on them.”
