Mr. Saini, who was sworn in as Chief Minister for a second time on Thursday (October 17, 2024), said the people of Haryana defeated the Congress' narrative of lies and efforts to provoke farmers and the poor by bringing the BJP back to power for a third time.
By giving a big mandate to the BJP, people put their stamp of approval on the policies of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he said.
The Chief Minister said all government hospitals in the state will start offering free dialysis services to chronic kidney patients, he said.
"The first file that I signed (after assuming charge) was regarding the decision pertaining to kidney patients. We had also made this promise in the elections. The cost of dialysis is nearly Rs 20,000 to Rs 25,000 per month. Now, the Haryana government will bear the expenses," he added.
