Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini highlighted that with a new vision, the state government was benefiting every section of society and advancing Haryana's development. He asserted that the development undertaken by the BJP-led government had surpassed the efforts of previous governments over the past 48 years. Saini was in Panipat to inaugurate 19 projects worth Rs 360.55 million and lay the foundation for 12 projects costing Rs 1.91 billion. He also announced Rs 100 million each for development works in the Panipat Urban and Rural Assembly constituencies.

In his address, Saini mentioned that under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership over the past decade, the 'double-engine government' had created a system benefiting all societal sections and achieving significant developmental milestones. He emphasised the role of robust infrastructure in improving living standards and attracting industries and investments, noting that Haryana maintained an annual economic growth rate of 8 per cent, compared to the national average of 6.7 per cent.

When the BJP assumed power in 2014, it faced numerous challenges, as the previous government had left a dilapidated economy, a collapsed cooperative structure, and failing public sector undertakings. Saini accused the Congress government of focusing on one region's development while neglecting the rest of the state. He claimed that the current government had accelerated development across the state without discrimination, significantly transforming its landscape.

Additionally, Saini criticized the Congress government for its failure to provide plots to the poor. He noted that the present government had distributed 100-square-yard plots to all eligible individuals, addressing a critical need that had been neglected previously.
