Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini reaffirmed the state government’s unwavering commitment to a zero-tolerance policy against corruption, stating that over the past 11 years, strict action has been taken against officials, employees, and individuals found guilty of any wrongdoing. The state administration has maintained an uncompromising stance in ensuring transparency and accountability.
Speaking during the Haryana Assembly’s budget session, the Chief Minister addressed concerns raised by legislator Dr. Raghubir Kadian regarding irregularities in the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA). He asserted that the state government had taken cognizance of the scam and initiated stringent action against those involved. He reiterated that under his leadership, corruption in any form would not be tolerated, and future governance would continue adhering to the zero-tolerance approach.
In another significant development, Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini highlighted the introduction of a bill related to the Aparna Institute, reinforcing the state’s commitment to public welfare. He emphasized that the bill aimed to honor the philanthropic vision of Swami Dhirendra Brahmachari by ensuring that the institute’s land was utilized for public benefit. The yoga ashram on the site has long been a center for health and wellness, and the government intends to expand its role in serving the people. The Chief Minister stated that after Swami Brahmachari’s demise, disputes led to the division of the institution into two factions, resulting in prolonged legal battles that rendered the institute inactive. The state government has intervened to prevent misuse of the land and ensure its continued service to the public, aligning with Swami Brahmachari’s original vision.
Further strengthening Haryana’s cultural identity, the state officially adopted its first-ever state song on the final day of the budget session. A committee formed to select the song presented its proposal in the assembly, which was unanimously approved through voice vote. Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini expressed gratitude to the contributors who played a role in shaping this anthem, calling it a song that will resonate with the sentiments of Haryana’s 2.8 crore people.
The Chief Minister emphasized the need to establish guidelines and protocols for the state song, akin to those set for the national anthem. He acknowledged that the proposal was initially introduced by former Chief Minister Manohar Lal and had received widespread support. The song, refined based on input from assembly members, was presented again before receiving final approval.
Haryana, formed as a separate state in 1966, had lacked an official state song for nearly six decades. CM Saini stated that this anthem would serve as a powerful expression of the state’s rich heritage and culture, encapsulating the achievements of Haryana’s people across various domains. He emphasized that the song embodies the essence of Haryana’s illustrious past, cultural traditions, and contributions made by its hardworking citizens. From being a land of valiant warriors safeguarding the nation’s borders to the industrious farmers driving agricultural prosperity, Haryana has consistently remained at the forefront of progress.
The Chief Minister remarked that Haryana’s transformation from an arid land into one of India’s most prosperous states is a testament to the resilience and determination of its people. He noted that the song would serve as a reminder of Haryana’s journey and inspire future generations to uphold its legacy of dedication and commitment to growth.
With these initiatives, CM Nayab Singh Saini continues to solidify Haryana’s administrative strength while nurturing its cultural and historical pride, ensuring that governance remains transparent and the state’s heritage is preserved for future generations.
