Chandigarh, March 26 Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini said on Thursday that the Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party have a covert alliance in Punjab, but the people of the state have decided to bring the BJP to power in the 2027 Assembly elections.
Alleging a covert alliance between Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party, he said that the people of Punjab have now understood the "internal understanding" between the two parties.
Therefore, this time, the people of Punjab have decided to place their trust in Prime Minister Modi and the policies of the BJP and bring the party to power, Saini said.
He was speaking to the media in Ludhiana district of Punjab.
The Haryana chief minister said that Punjab will once again move forward on the path of development under the leadership of Narendra Modi.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has resolved to make India a developed nation by the year 2047, and Punjab will not lag in this mission, he added.
He said that the brave people of this state made significant contributions to India's freedom struggle, and Prime Minister Modi is continuously working towards fulfilling the vision they had for the country and the state.
Taking a dig at rival parties, he said, Punjab, which was once a leading state in terms of development, has pushed its youth into the trap of drugs because of the politics practised in the state.
Earlier, Saini addressed the closing ceremony of a religious congregation held at Gurdwara Sri Nanaksar Sahib in Ludhiana.
He said that the Gurus, saints, and great spiritual leaders have shown the true path of life to humanity.
To spread their message among the masses, the Haryana government is running the 'Sant-Mahapurush Vichar Samman Prachar Evam Prasar Yojana'.
Under this scheme, the birth anniversaries of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, Guru Tegh Bahadur, Guru Gobind Singh and other saints are celebrated at the state level.
In November 2025, several programmes were organised across the state to mark the 350th martyrdom anniversary of Guru Tegh Bahadur, he said.
A forest will be developed in the name of Guru Tegh Bahadur in Kalesar, Yamunanagar, and a memorial gate has also been constructed in his honour, he added.
Sharing an important decision of the Haryana government, he said that during the 1984 riots, many Sikh families lost their loved ones.
The state government has made provisions to provide a job to one member from each of the 121 affected families, he informed.
He also said that on December 24, during the Veer Bal Diwas programme held in Panchkula, Haryana, Union Home Minister Amit Shah personally handed over appointment letters to the members of riot-affected families.
The Haryana Government is continuously working to spread the teachings and principles of the Gurus among the masses, Saini said.
