Saini, a political figure from Punjab, publicly criticized the Haryana Chief Minister for exploiting women and youth, citing that Haryana had already begun depositing ₹2,100 in women's accounts since the first year, while Punjab is only now discussing ₹1,000.
Saini, a prominent political figure in Punjab, took to the streets in Chandigarh to voice his discontent with the Haryana government’s handling of women’s welfare schemes. During a rally attended by several local leaders, he accused the Haryana Chief Minister of exploiting women and youth, claiming that the state’s promises have not been fulfilled.
He pointed out that Haryana had started depositing ₹2,100 into women’s bank accounts from the very first year of its scheme, a move that Saini described as a significant step toward financial inclusion. In contrast, he argued that Punjab’s discussions about providing ₹1,000 to women are merely a delayed and lesser effort.
Saini’s remarks highlight a growing concern among Punjab’s political circles about inter-state disparities in social welfare initiatives. He urged the Punjab government to accelerate its own schemes and to ensure that women receive timely support.
The Haryana government has yet to respond to the accusations, while opposition parties in Punjab have called for a review of the state’s welfare programs to match or surpass the standards set by neighboring states.
