"In the coming times, our government will work under the leadership of PM Modi to take Haryana forward at a rapid pace," he said while speaking to ANI.

O announcing the results of recruitment exams for 25,000 posts in Haryana, Saini said: "The Congress which talks about the welfare of the youth, is an anti-youth party and the way they went to the court and the Election Commission to stop those jobs. We had said that the youth need not worry. Our government will give jobs 'bina parchi bina kharchi'. Our commission has prepared the results. It will be released soon."

Union Minister Rajiv Ranjan Singh on Thursday claimed that the Congress party and the INDIA alliance resorted to various forms of negative campaigning during the Haryana elections, but the people of the state reaffirmed their support for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's governance by rejecting it.

Forming a government for the third time is not an easy task. Congress party and the entire INDIA alliance used all kinds of negative propaganda in the Haryana elections but the people of Haryana stamped Modi ji's good governance by ending all negative propaganda."

Haryana Chief Minister designate Nayab Singh Saini on Thursday offered prayers at Valmiki Temple in Panchkula on the occasion of Maharishi Valmiki Jayanti ahead of his oath-taking ceremony later today.

He worked to end the evils prevalent in the society and gave a message to the society. Today it is my good fortune that I have got the opportunity to worship at the feet of Lord Valmiki. I extend my heartfelt congratulations and best wishes to all the people of the state on his birth anniversary."

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu is among the political dignitaries to attend the swearing-in ceremony of Nayab Singh Saini as the Chief Minister of Haryana later today. According to Naidu's official schedule, he is expected to arrive in Chandigarh by 11:15 am and attend the swearing-in ceremony between 12:30 pm and 2 pm at Panchkula. Later, the CM is also scheduled to attend a meeting of NDA chief ministers and conclude his one-day tour of Haryana. Naidu is expected to return to Andhra Pradesh around 10:30 pm.

Nayab Singh Saini, an OBC face of the BJP, had replaced Manohar Lal Khattar as the chief minister of Haryana in March. He won Ladwa assembly seat in Kurukshetra district by a margin of 16,054 votes.

Saini's elevation from the Haryana BJP president to the chief minister in March came at a time when the party was facing anti-incumbency following Khattar's tenure of nine-and-a-half years and attacks from a buoyant opposition on farmers' issues, unemployment, Agnipath scheme, inflation, and law and order. The BJP's gamble paid off with Saini leading the BJP to victory, defying exit poll predictions of a clean sweep for the Congress.
