Panchkula (Haryana) [India], April 20 (ANI): Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini has inaugurated a newly constructed bridge over the Ghaggar river in Panchkula district and said that the development works were being carried out speedily in the state. He added that the government has written a new definition of development in the past decade.
While addressing the gathering at the inauguration event, Saini said that "direction and condition" of Haryana have changed ever since Prime Minister Narendra Modi's double-engine government came to power, with development works happening rapidly.
"By laying the foundation stones of small projects, development becomes fast-paced. Ever since PM Modi's double-engine government came to power in Haryana...along with Panchkula, Haryana's direction and condition have changed. Works are happening at a fast pace. In the past 10 years, we have written a new definition of development. The conditions of roads are such that it takes only about three to four hours to reach the other end of the state," Saini said.
On Friday, Saini criticised the previous Congress-led UPA government for introducing the original Waqf bill in haste for 'vote bank politics' during 2013-2014 and claimed that it lacked provisions that truly served the interests of Muslims.
Saini alleged that the Congress brought the bill for vote bank politics, accused the party of engaging in "shoddy politics," and did not acknowledge the improvements in the amended legislation.
Reacting to the Supreme Court's recent observations on the Waqf Amendment Act, Haryana Chief Minister Saini defended the legislation, stating that the amended Act is designed to benefit the entire Muslim community.
Earlier, the Chief Minister said that it was essential to consider not only the language of the law, but also the emotions, needs, and aspirations of society while drafting legislation. Saini was addressing the participants of the 36th International Training Programme in Legislative Drafting, being organised at the Haryana Vidhan Sabha from April 16 to April 21, 2025.
"We are now steadily moving toward making the legislative process more modern, inclusive, and accessible," he said, according to a release. (ANI)
