Chandigarh: Haryana Chief Minister
Nayab Singh Saini
lashed out at the
AAP government in Punjab
on Saturday, alleging that it has not done any meaningful work for the welfare of people.
Saini further claimed that the
Bhagwant Mann
government in Punjab "no longer enjoys any public support" and said in the June 19
Ludhiana West Assembly bypoll
, people will decide in the right direction.
Saini visited Sangrur on Saturday to condole the death of veteran Akali leader and former Union minister
Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa
. He met Dhindsa's son and former Punjab finance minister Parminder Singh Dhindsa and expressed his grief.
Talking to reporters in Sangrur, the Haryana chief minister alleged that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Punjab was formed on a "foundation of lies".
"This government has neither done any meaningful work for the welfare of people nor does it have the will to work. Now, the people of Punjab have understood this truth," he claimed.

The Mann government has "completely failed" to fulfil the promises it had made to people during elections, Saini said.
He said the AAP has been exposed in Delhi, because "lies do not last long".
"It no longer has any public support in Punjab and in the Ludhiana West bypoll, people will decide in the right direction," he said.
Saini launched an attack on Punjab Chief Minister Mann, saying he should work for the welfare of people rather than indulging in "theatrics".
Referring to the Ludhiana West bypoll, he said the voters have made up their mind that Punjab should also move ahead at a fast pace under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership.
The bypoll to the Ludhiana West Assembly seat in Punjab is scheduled to be held on June 19 and the counting of the votes will be taken up on June 23.
The Ludhiana West seat fell vacant following AAP MLA Gurpreet Bassi Gogi's death in January.
Saini accused the AAP government of not implementing the Centre's welfare schemes in Punjab and depriving people of their benefits.
Talking about the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in Haryana, Saini said for the last 11 years, public welfare schemes are being implemented effectively under the leadership of Modi.
He said the Haryana government is purchasing all crops from farmers at the
Minimum Support Price
(MSP).
Similarly, the Punjab government should also worry about the farmers of the state and give them a fair price for their crops, he said.
Saini said in the event of crop loss due to natural calamities, the Haryana government has provided a total compensation amount of more than Rs 15,500 crore to farmers in the last 10 years.
Besides, vegetable-growing farmers are being given relief under the "Bhavantar Bharpai Yojana", he added.
The people of Haryana are also getting the benefits of the
Ayushman Bharat Yojana
, while the people of Punjab are being deprived of those, he said.

Congress slams Goa government, alleges Rs 72000000000 annual loss from..., blames BJP of...
This is India's richest liquor company, produces cheapest alcohol like…, company name is… New Delhi: Goa Pradesh Congress Committee has launched a scathing attack against the state government for permitting open smuggling of liquor. The party has alleged that the smuggling is causing an estimated loss of Rs 7,200 crore per annum. State Congress president Amit Patkar alleged that at least ten trucks carrying liquor worth Rs 2 crore each cross the Patradevi border every day to reach states such as Gujarat, where alcohol is banned. Patkar highlighted a recent incident where a truck transporting liquor caught fire in Dhargalim and questioned the inaction of the authorities. 'The truck is registered with the transport department, but the police and excise people say they can't identify its owner. How is this possible?' he asked. Patkar also condemned the excise department for not having mechanisms to trace or intercept illegally made and packaged liquor exiting Goa. Blaming the Pramod Sawant government's inaction, Patkar said 36 hours after the Dhargalim incident, both the excise department and the police had done nothing, and the Enforcement Directorate (ED) was quiet. 'We demand that the CM clarify the state to tell us where this liquor came from and where it went. This is a big national threat. By tomorrow, they have to come out with this, and if they don't, then we will gherao the commissioner of excise.' Congress criticised local authorities for turning a blind eye to liquor being smuggled out of Goa.

Tejashwi claims Rs20k crore spent on PM's Bihar rallies
1 2 3 Patna: Leader of the opposition in state assembly, Tejashwi Prasad Yadav, on Saturday alleged that PM Narendra Modi 's rallies in Bihar over the past five elections have cost the exchequer approximately Rs 20,000 crore. His remarks came a day after the PM addressed a rally in Siwan, where all NDA allies were present. Tejashwi accused the ruling alliance of misusing public funds for political campaigns disguised as official events. In a post shared on social media, Tejashwi wrote that on average, Rs 100 crore is spent on each rally or public meeting conducted by the PM and that 200 such events had been held in Bihar during the last five election cycles. "Given this situation, Rs 20,000 crores were spent on the PM's rallies so far," he said, arguing that the financial burden is unjustifiable for a poor state like Bihar. "If you cannot give anything to a poor state like Bihar, then why do you even take it?" he asked, adding that the PM's visits seemed more focused on attacking the opposition than presenting his govt's achievements or addressing its shortcomings.
