Haryana CM Nayab Saini announces free dialysis, implements SC reservation sub-categorisation

PTC Web Desk: Following the swearing-in ceremony of the new government in Haryana, Chief Minister Nayab Saini assumed office at the Secretariat in Chandigarh. In his first decision, CM Saini announced free dialysis for patients suffering from severe kidney diseases in all government hospitals across the state.

He also mentioned that this free service would be extended to medical colleges in the future. After assuming charge, Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini accompanied all ministers for their joining formalities.


The Haryana Chief Minister conducted his first Cabinet meeting, where the Cabinet formally accepted the Supreme Court's decision regarding the sub-categorisation of Scheduled Caste (SC) reservations. The Haryana Cabinet decided to implement the ruling immediately, ensuring a fair distribution of benefits within the existing reservation system.

Currently, there is a 15% reservation for SC and a 7.5% reservation for ST communities. With the new decision, Haryana will be able to allocate specific quotas within this 22.5% reservation to those sub-groups within SCs and STs that have lesser representation in employment and education.

Addressing the issue of government job recruitments, CM Saini criticised the previous Congress government, accusing it of treating job distribution as a business. He said the Haryana Staff Selection Commission (HSSC) was perceived as a "shop." Regarding the upcoming Assembly session, CM Saini mentioned that the Cabinet discussed the matter, and a date would be finalised within 1-2 days, post-festivities. He also warned criminals to either leave the state or face strict action.


CM Nayab Saini's 5 key announcements post-Cabinet meeting

MSP procurement for farmers: The Haryana CM reassured farmers that every grain of their crop would be purchased at the Minimum Support Price (MSP). He claimed that the state aims to credit Rs 3,056 crore for paddy purchases into farmers' accounts. As of October 17, 3.44 lakh metric tonne of millet have arrived in the market, out of which over 2 lakh metric tonne have already been purchased, with Rs 331 crore transferred to farmers’ accounts.

Job recruitment without bribes

Emphasising transparency, Haryana CM Saini recalled his promise of creating 50,000 jobs, with 15,000 already provided and 25,000 more planned. He assured that job recruitments would be conducted without any monetary transactions. Saini also noted that he prioritised job delivery over his swearing-in, ensuring that 25,000 youths secured employment before officially taking the oath.

Criticism of Congress' job practices

The Haryana CM accused the Congress of using job distribution for personal gain, treating government jobs as a means of profit. He criticised their practice of involving the courts in recruitment processes, noting that the Congress aimed to allocate job quotas to each legislator when in power. He claimed that the BJP-led government, unlike the Congress, had gained the trust of the people by providing jobs without bribery.

Warning to Criminals

Haryana CM Saini issued a warning to those involved in criminal activities, advising them to leave the state or face stringent corrective actions. He highlighted the government's commitment to ensuring the safety and security of every resident.

Continuation of existing schemes

The Haryana Chief Minister assured that all existing welfare schemes would continue without interruption, stressing that good governance would remain the hallmark of his administration.
