On the occasion, Saini acknowledged his UP counterpart Yogi Adityanath's efforts to end 'jungle raj' which, he said, prevailed in Uttar Pradesh earlier, making the state safer, especially for women.

He emphasised on the need to preserve our culture and heritage and work together to make India a developed nation by 2047.

He congratulated the people of Haryana for forming the BJP government for the third time.

Adityanath while highlighting the positive impact of electing good leaders, which, he said, Haryana exemplified by re-electing Nayab Singh Saini, said that working selflessly, the BJP government at the centre and in states is committed towards the welfare of every section of the society.

He said that Mahakumbh will be organised in Prayagraj from January 13 to February 26.
