Sonipat: As the Sonipat municipal corporation elections draw near, the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has launched an extensive campaign, emphasizing governance and development to attract voters. On Monday, Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini began his outreach drive from the Rai Assembly segment, executing a packed schedule of 20 programmes across all 22 wards of the civic body.
Direct Engagement Initiatives
The marathon tour featured direct public engagement activities such as "Chai Par Charcha," where the chief minister interacted with residents, listened to their grievances, and promoted the BJP's development agenda. Saini framed the civic polls as a gateway to accelerated growth, highlighting the party's "triple-engine government" pitch—aligning the Centre, state, and local body under one political dispensation to ensure faster execution of development projects.
Appeal to Voters
Saini urged voters to support BJP candidates, arguing that policy delivery would be more efficient with political convergence across all tiers. He launched a sharp attack on the Congress over the Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill, 2026, alleging that opposition leaders deliberately avoided parliamentary proceedings on the issue. The chief minister maintained that the BJP remains committed to women's empowerment and indicated that Haryana would push forward a unified proposal to strengthen women's rights.
Environmental and Infrastructure Plans
Saini also announced plans to clean the Yamuna River, stating that water treatment plants (WTPs) and sewage treatment plants (STPs) would be installed to prevent untreated waste from entering the river. He added that ensuring clean water flow would also support agricultural use.
Growing Public Confidence
The campaign witnessed residents joining the BJP, which Saini described as a sign of growing public confidence in the party's policies. He emphasized that the scale of outreach—20 programmes across 22 wards—reflects the BJP's determination to consolidate support at the grassroots level.
Administrative Outreach
To complement the political push, the BJP-ruled state government also stepped up administrative outreach through its ongoing "Samadhan Shivirs," aimed at resolving citizen grievances. As part of this initiative, a district-level camp focusing on Parivar Pehchan Patra-related issues was organized on Monday.
