Haryana Assembly Elections 2024: Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini dubbed seven guarantees, including monthly Rs 2,000 to every woman from 18-60 years, announced by the Congress on Wednesday (September 18) as a bundle of lies, saying people know the fate of their tall promises in other states.
Speaking to media on the sidelines of poll campaign in Kurukshetra district, Saini said the Congress had made tall promises to people of Karnataka and Himachal Pradesh and shown them greener pastures but deceived the public once they came to power.
On the Congress' guarantee of Rs 2,000 to women, Saini said they had also promised Rs 1,500 to women in Himachal and asked whether they gave it to every woman. These are just "bundle of lies', Saini said.
BJP fulfills promises made to the masses

When the polls are held on October 5 (Saturday) in Haryana, the BJP will return to power with a big mandate, he said.
"People have made up their mind to form BJP government once again," he said.
