Haryana Cabinet passes thank-you resolution for PM Modi's 25 years in government
Synopsis
Key Takeaways
The Haryana Cabinet, chaired by Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, on Saturday, 10 October passed a formal 'thank-you resolution' marking Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 25 years of continuous public service as head of government. The resolution was adopted at a Cabinet meeting in Chandigarh and was followed by remarks from the Chief Minister to the media.
What the Resolution Says
Chief Minister Saini said the resolution acknowledges Modi's role in transforming Haryana's standing nationally. 'Haryana used to be number one from the bottom in the country, but thanks to the Prime Minister's visionary thinking and welfare policies, it is now number one from the top,' Saini said.
He also referenced the Sankalp Yatra, saying it informed citizens 'in detail about benefits for every individual, empowering poor people, and making life simple and convenient.' Saini drew a pointed contrast with the Indian National Congress (Congress), arguing that while the party 'ruled for 55 years,' Modi had 'prepared the vision of a Viksit Bharat in 12 years.'
GST Relief and Global Standing
The Chief Minister cited GST relief extended to crores of citizens during the previous year as one of Modi's key economic contributions, describing it as widely discussed across the country. 'Only a visionary leader can do this work,' Saini said, adding that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had also won recent municipal and by-elections. He predicted that 'the condition of Congress is going to deteriorate further in the 2029 elections.'
Appeal to Farmers on Stubble Burning
Separately, Chief Minister Saini used the post-Cabinet briefing to appeal to farmers to refrain from burning paddy stubble during the ongoing harvest season. He noted that stubble burning 'pollutes the environment' and said the government has put arrangements in place for stubble management, urging farmers to utilise them.
Youth Outreach and Anti-Drug Campaign
Saini also highlighted a recent anti-drug campaign he launched in Yamunanagar, which he said drew participation from one lakh youth — contrasting this with a simultaneous protest at Jantar Mantar. 'There is no shortage of talent among the youth of Haryana, and it should be utilised positively,' he said. He called on the youth to be better informed about Modi's policies, arguing that the Opposition was 'only misleading' them.
The resolution underscores the BJP-led state government's alignment with the Centre ahead of the 2029 general elections, with Saini framing the occasion as both a political milestone and a governance benchmark.
