Chandigarh: Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Monday dismissed the emerging narrative around the satirical political platform Cockroach Janta Party, calling it a politically motivated issue with no relevance among the youth of Haryana or the country.
CM's Response to Queries
Responding to questions during an interaction session in New Delhi, the chief minister said he regularly engages with young people and has never encountered such sentiments on the ground. He stated that the narrative was being unnecessarily amplified for political purposes and did not reflect public concerns. Saini was interacting with members of the Women Journalists Welfare Trust in the presence of his media adviser Rajeev Jaitly.
Personal Reflection on Public Life
The CM also shared a personal reflection on public life, saying that serving people remains his foremost priority, often leaving little time for family engagements. He mentioned that a planned family visit to Vrindavan had to be postponed due to urgent official responsibilities.
Development Agenda and Women Empowerment
Reiterating his government's development agenda, Saini said Haryana would continue moving forward with a focus on transparency, empowerment, and inclusive growth to ensure benefits reach every section of society. The CM emphasized women empowerment, describing women journalists as powerful voices shaping the democratic narrative of the country. He praised their courage, professionalism, and commitment, saying their contribution reflected the growing strength of 'Nari Shakti' in modern India.
Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao Campaign
Highlighting the state government's women-centric initiatives, Saini referred to the 'Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao' campaign launched from Haryana under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He said the campaign had brought major social transformation, with several villages recording improved sex ratios and, in some cases, a higher birth rate of girls than boys.
