Addressing “Mewat Vikas Sankalp Rally” at Punhana in Mewat on Saturday, Saini expressed confidence in the region’s future, saying that whenever Haryana’s development story is told, people will remember Mewat for rewriting history.

Launching a sharp attack on the Congress, the chief minister said that the party, which ruled the country for 55 years, has run out of issues and is now attempting to further its political interests in the name of the youth. He said everyone is aware of how examination papers were leaked during the Congress regime, how the culture of “parchi-kharchi” prevailed, and how generations of young aspirants were repeatedly betrayed.

“Rahul Gandhi is now trying to revive his party’s declining political fortunes by invoking the concerns of the youth. In contrast, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has made it clear that the interests of the country’s youth are paramount,” he said.

Paying tributes to martyr Hasan Khan Mewati, the chief minister said that Mewat, which had endured decades of neglect, is today emerging as a symbol of development, trust and new opportunities. He said the vision of Viksit Bharat can only be realised when every region of Haryana, including Mewat, becomes an integral part of the mainstream development process. “The coming era belongs to Mewat and this journey of development will now move ahead with even greater speed,” he said, recalling a time when the very mention of Mewat evoked images of backwardness rather than development.

“The region remained neglected for decades. When intentions are honest, policies are clear and leadership is driven by a spirit of public service, history itself changes direction,” Saini added.
