Congress and AAP Misled Youth, BJP is Enacting a Stringent Law Against Paper Leaks: CM Nayab Singh Saini

Chandigarh, July 28: Haryana Chief Minister  Nayab Singh Saini said the Congress had compromised the future of the youth, and the same was done by the Aam Aadmi Party in Delhi and Punjab. He said the Government of India has treated the issue of paper leaks with utmost seriousness. Prime Minister  Narendra Modi not only enacted a law in 2024 to curb paper leaks but is now working to make it even more stringent so that such incidents can be effectively prevented in the future.

Addressing a press conference after the Cabinet meeting at the Haryana Civil Secretariat on Tuesday, the Chief Minister said the opposition has no agenda except opposing Prime Minister Modi and the BJP. He remarked that just two days ago, Aam Aadmi Party leader Manish Sisodia had confidently stated during a press conference that if any paper leak occurred in Punjab, their Education Minister would resign. Today, when pharmacy examination papers have allegedly been leaked in Punjab and students are protesting, Manish Sisodia and Arvind Kejriwal remain silent, sitting comfortably in their air-conditioned rooms.

 Nayab Singh Saini said that during the Congress regime, youth were deprived of fair employment opportunities through the “kharchi-parchi” system, and paper leaks were rampant. He recalled that while former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi had discussed the issue in the Lok Sabha in 1986, no concrete law was enacted to address it.

The Chief Minister further said that when the people of Punjab became disillusioned with the Congress, Arvind Kejriwal won their trust by promising honest governance and formed the government. However, the alleged irregularities in the recruitment of Excise Inspectors in Punjab are well known, yet the Punjab Government has taken no action.

 Nayab Singh Saini challenged Arvind Kejriwal to release a white paper, alongside the Punjab Chief Minister, detailing how many underprivileged children in Delhi and Punjab have been helped to become doctors, engineers or IAS officers under their government. In contrast, he said, the Haryana Government, over the past eleven and a half years, has enabled students from government schools to fulfil their dreams through Mission Buniyad and Mission-100, helping them qualify for IITs, IIMs, NITs and NEET.

Replying to another question, the Chief Minister said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had appealed to citizens to reduce diesel consumption by 20 per cent. In line with this vision, the Haryana Government has introduced several measures to promote electric vehicles. These include 100 per cent tax exemption on the purchase of electric vehicles costing up to ₹30 lakh and 50 per cent tax exemption on EVs priced above ₹30 lakh. He added that the state is also developing charging infrastructure by establishing charging stations across Haryana.

The Chief Minister said that the opposition has made it a habit to oppose every initiative of the BJP Government, especially those of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He remarked that the Congress has no real issues to raise and fails to acknowledge the rapid pace of the country’s development.

Responding to a question regarding his visits to Punjab, Nayab Singh Saini said that the people of Punjab are like brothers to the people of Haryana. He added that he visits Punjab when invited by its people out of affection and questioned why the opposition should have any objection to such visits.

Cabinet Minister  Krishan Kumar Bedi, Additional Director of the Information, Public Relations and Languages Department Captain Manish Kumar Lohan, Media Advisor to the Chief Minister Rajiv Jaitly, and Media Secretary Praveen Attrey were also present on the occasion.
