Spirit of cooperation: Haryana, Rajasthan CMs resolve to sort Yamuna water dispute

June 25, 2025, 12:41 am

In a significant step towards resolving the long-standing inter-state water disputes, Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Saini and his Rajas- than counterpart Bhajan Lal Sharma held a detailed telephonic conversation on Tuesday, focusing on the critical issues of water drainage in Bhiwadi and the historic Yamuna water- sharing agreement.

According to officials privy to the information, the dialogue, marked by a spirit of cooperation, has raised hopes for a perma- nent solution to problems that have plagued industrial and residential areas in both states, particularly during the monsoon season.

The discussion centered on the persistent waterlog- ging problem in Bhiwadi, a major industrial hub in Rajasthan, where the natural topography channels rainwater towards Haryana, causing a severe flooding in both industrial and resi- dential zones.

The leaders agreed to collaborate on technical and administra- tive measures to address this issue, with a commit- ment to ensuring the drain- age of only treated indus- trial water, which will be strictly monitored. A key outcome of the talks was the decision to prepare a joint Detailed Project Report (DPR) to formalise solutions for both the Bhi- wadi drainage issue and the Yamuna water-sharing dispute.

The DPR, to be developed collaboratively by both states, will lay the groundwork for action- able steps to resolve these challenges. Additionally, a ground alignment survey for a proposed pipeline to facilitate water drainage is set to commence by the end of June 2025, marking a concrete move toward ensuring water security for both states, revealed the of- ficials. This initiative is expected to mitigate the severe water- logging that has long trou- bled Bhiwadi’s industries and residents, as well as address Haryana’s concerns about managing excess water flow.

The Yamuna water-sharing agreement, a decades-old point of contention, was also a focal point of the conversation. Both Chief Ministers expressed satisfaction with the progress made toward a mutually agreeable framework, with plans to finalize the DPR to ensure equitable water distribution. This development builds on earlier efforts, such as the February 2024 agreement facilitated by the Union Jal Shakti Ministry, which aimed to address water distribution to Rajasthan’s Shekhawati region, including Sikar, Churu, and Jhunjhunu

October 17, 2024, 1:14 am

Nayab Singh Saini has been unanimously elected as the leader of the BJP Legislature Party, paving the way for his appointment as the Chief Minister of Haryana for the second term to the BJP’s third government in a row. The oath ceremony is scheduled for Thursday as Prime Minister Narendra Modi along with several BJP leaders likely to attend the event. The announcement came on Wednesday following a meeting chaired by Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Chandigarh.
“There was a single proposal put forward by Narwana MLA Krishan Bedi, which was seconded by Ambala Cantt MLA Anil Vij in support of Saini,” announced Amit Shah, officially declaring Saini as the leader of the BJP Legislature Party in Haryana in the presence of BJP MLAs and senior leaders.
Senior party leaders, including Amit Shah, caretaker Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, Manohar Lal and Rao Inderjit Singh arrived at Raj Bhavan to officially stake the claim for forming the next government.
Elected from Ladwa Assembly Constituency Saini, 54, took over as Chief Minister of Haryana in March, succeeding Manohar Lal, who is now a Union Minister. His appointment was seen as a surprising choice to lead the party in this key heartland state, especially with both the general and Assembly elections approaching.
The BJP secured a third term in the assembly polls in Haryana, results of which were declared on October 8. It won 48 seats against the Congress’ 37 in the 90-member assembly in the state.
During the meeting, Saini expressed his gratitude to the BJP leadership and outlined his vision for Haryana’s future. He said, “It is my privilege to be unanimously chosen as the leader of the BJP Legislature Party. We are committed to serving the 2.80 crore people of Haryana as dedicated workers under the guidance of the most popular leader in the world, Prime Minister Narendra Modi.” He emphasized the party’s mission to make Haryana a “non-stop leading state” under the double-engine government, with a focus on service, good governance, equality, and welfare for the poor.
The BJP’s successful leadership transition, marked by Saini’s elevation, underscores the party’s strong foothold in the state.
Nayab Singh Saini, who will lead Haryana for the third consecutive term, acknowledged the people’s mandate and the vision of Prime Minister Modi. “The people of Haryana have placed their faith in the policies of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and they have resolved to carry forward his vision of a developed India by 2047,” Saini stated.
“I had promised that the results of the recruitment exam for 24,000 youths would be announced first, and only then would I take the oath. Staying true to that commitment, the results will be declared tomorrow. The BJP stands by its word,” he said.
Meanwhile, three independent MLAs — Savitri Jindal from Hisar, Rajesh Joon from Bahadurgarh, and Devender Kadyan from Ganaur — have extended their unconditional support to the BJP Legislative Party. They met the Governor on Wednesday to submit letters of support, further solidifying the party’s position to form the government.
Savitri Jindal, an independent MLA, expressed her confidence in Saini’s leadership, saying in a post on X, “I am supporting the Haryana government without any conditions for the good development of Hisar and Haryana. I trust that Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini will ensure the overall progress of the state.” Similarly, Rajesh Joon and Devender Kadyan reiterated their support, citing the BJP’s policies and development agenda as key reasons for backing the party.

Haryana CM takes jibe at kejriwal ahead of MCD polls: ‘…owner of Delhi’

November 27, 2022, 3:44 pm

Ahead of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) elections next week, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Saturday poked fun at his Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) opponent and leader, Arvind Kejriwal, in Delhi.

Kejriwal “considers himself as the owner of Delhi,” the BJP leader said in a fresh dig. In his address at a public rally in the national capital, where he was present to support the BJP nominees in the MCD elections – Khattar was quoted as saying by news agency ANI: “Arvind Kejriwal considers himself as the owner of Delhi, unlike our Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who thinks of himself as a servant of this nation.”

On Saturday, Khattar spoke at three rallies that were held back-to-back in the Delhi neighbourhoods of Krishna Nagar, Shahdara, and Rajendra Nagar.

The national capital’s civic elections are slated for December 4, and the results will be tallied on December 7. The AAP has 492 nominees, followed by 507 independents, who make up the biggest percentage of the overall nominations. The Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), 31 from the JD-U, 20 from AIMIM, and nine from the CPI have each fielded candidates in addition to the 423 candidates fielded by the BJP, which is now in charge of the civic body (M).

AAP was also criticised earlier on Saturday by Union Minister Anurag Thakur, who charged that the party’s leaders were involved in fraud and corruption.

All AAP ministers are not only involved in serious allegations of corruption but also jailed. This shows that his (AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal’s) politics is only about corruption, liquor, and scams,” Thakur said.
