Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Wednesday, in a legislative assembly, replied to an adjournment motion by the Opposition in the Legislative Assembly regarding recruitments by the Haryana Public Service Commission (HPSC) and the Haryana Staff Selection Commission (HSSC), asserting that there is "full transparency in this double-engine government."

"Someone has gone to Japan and is signing MoUs. Japan is also known as Nippon. I hope the people of Japan do not get nervous that a 'name-changing' Chief Minister has arrived. I hope he doesn't come back after renaming Japan to Adityapur or Adityapuram," Yadav said.

"I strongly condemn the assault on the health minister of Kerala, by the KSU followers at the behest of the Congress leadership. They have unleashed this violence against a woman minister for no reason or rhyme. And there is an orchestrated attempt on the part of the UDF, the opposition, to tarnish and malign the health sector of Kerala, which is a role model for the entire world. So I strongly condemn and request the Congress leadership to make sure that such hooligans are not unleashed against public figures like ministers," he said.
