[2] In October 2024 Haryana Assembly elections,Saini won from Ladwa constituency of Kurukshetra district and also led the BJP party to secure a third term victory in the state. [3]
Earlier,Saini served as the Member of parliament (M.P.) from Kurukshetra,Haryana,from 2019 to 2024. Before that,he was a member of the Haryana Legislative Assembly (M.L.A.) from Naraingarh (Ambala district) from 2014 to 2019. He served as the Minister of State in Haryana government from 2015 to 2019. Coming from a humble family background,Saini joined the BJP party unit in Ambala and steadily rose through the ranks,often working closely with party leader,Manohar Lal Khattar. [4] He speaks in Puadhi dialect.
Nayab Singh Saini was born in the small village of Mizapur Majra near Ambala,Haryana,India on 25 January 1970 in a Saini family. Saini,originally belongs to Mangoli Jattan village of Kurukshetra,though his family shifted to Mirzapur in Ambala district a long time ago. [5] [6]
Saini is a law graduate and did his LLB degree from Chaudhary Charan Singh University,Meerut. [5] Earlier,he did his B.A. degree from B. R. Ambedkar B. University,Muzaffarpur. [7]
Saini joined the BJP party unit in Ambala. Initially,he started working as a computer operator in the BJP's Ambala party office and eventually became the general secretary of Haryana BJP’s Kisan Morcha (farmers’front). He became an active member of BJP’s Ambala youth wing,and he was recognized by Manohar Lal Khattar. [4]
Saini also became a supporter of cow protectionism in Haryana like several other leaders of BJP-RSS background,noting that the ordinary people of Haryana have deep respect for the cow,though he condemned any lynching incident. [8] He contested the election in Naraingarh constituency of Ambala district in 2010 but was defeated by Ramkishan Gurjar. While he lost his first election,he was becoming recognized as an OBC face in the BJP's Ambala unit. [5]
In 2014,Saini contested the Haryana state elections from Naraingarh Assembly constituency (Ambala district) as a BJP candidate and won the MLA election by 24,361 votes to become a member of the Haryana Legislative Assembly from Naraingarh Assembly constituency from 2014 to 2019. He served as the Minister of State,Government of Haryana from 2015 to 2019.
In 2019 Indian general election he was elected as Member of Parliament from Kurukshetra. [9] In 2023,he was appointed the president of the Haryana unit of the BJP. [10]
Saini,who was the president of BJP state unit was declared the new Chief Minister of Haryana on 12 March 2024 after incumbent Manohar Lal Khattar resigned as Chief Minister before 2024 Lok Sabha election. [11] [12] After the resignation of Manohar Lal Khattar,Saini was elected as the Leader of BJP's Legislative Party and subsequently took oath as the Chief Minister of Haryana. [13]
In October 2024,Saini won the Haryana Assembly Election from Ladwa seat (Kurukshetra district) [14] and also became the second time Chief Minister of Haryana on 17 October 2024. [15] According to political analysts,the elevation of Nayab Singh Saini as Chief Minister in March 2024 helped BJP win the 2024 Haryana elections,as the party was able to consolidate the votes from the OBC community,while and also gaining some Scheduled Caste (SC) voters,through new development schemes. [16]
For a long period,the Sarpanch Associations of Haryana demanded that the expenditure limit of the Gram Panchayats should be increased as it becomes difficult to implement various developmental initiatives in the villages due to fund crunch. Going by the demands,Saini government in July 2024 implemented the government resolution of increasing the expenditure limit of the Gram Panchayats to implement various developmental initiatives in the villages. The hike in expenditure limit was made from ₹5 lakh to ₹21 lakh,which enabled Panchayats to garner enough funds without floating e-tenders. [17]
Saini government also abolished the minimum charges that were levied on state's electricity consumers and announced that after the abolition,the electricity bill to be paid by the consumers will be solely based on units of electricity consumed. Saini also launched a state subsidy scheme under "Pradhan Mantri Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojna". Under this scheme,Rs 60,000 was sanctioned by central government,for setting up a rooftop solar plant for poor families having an annual income of less than Rs 1,80,000. Saini government thus planned an additional subsidy of Rs 50,000 from the state's exchequer. Since,the cost of installing a rooftop solar plant then was Rs 1,10,000,Saini administration planned to set up these plants completely from the expenses of central and state government,putting no financial burden on the citizens. [18]
In July 2024,the state cabinet of Haryana under CM Saini launched two affordable housing schemes,one for urban poor and another for rural poor. The housing scheme for urban poor from the Economically Weaker Sections of society was called "Mukhyamantri Seheri Awas Yojna". As per this scheme,the poor families having annual income of up to ₹1.80 lakh were eligible for the financial assistance of 1.5 lakh provided by state government for building their own pucca house. The scheme provided 30 square yard plot for each beneficiary family as well to construct their houses. [19] [20]
