The Aryavarth Express New Delhi: Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Friday dismissed claims made by Aam Aadmi Party MLA Narinder Kaur Bharaj that she was invited for a “closed-door” meeting with him, calling the allegation “fabricated.”
Addressing reporters in the national capital, Saini accused the AAP of creating false narratives to divert attention from its failures. He alleged that the party had previously made misleading claims about governance in Delhi and was now repeating the same tactics in other states. Referring to past accusations of attempts to lure MLAs, Saini said there was no evidence to support such claims.
“It was alleged that I was contacted as part of Operation Lotus, a closed-door discussion took place, and a ticket was offered. This is a fabricated allegation. The Aam Aadmi Party, in order to hide its misdeeds, first pretended to be vigilant in Delhi and is now trying similar narratives elsewhere. But there is no proof,” Saini said.
The Chief Minister also criticized the AAP for failing to fulfill promises made to the people of Punjab, highlighting what he described as a worsening law-and-order situation. He specifically named AAP leaders Arvind Kejriwal and Bhagwant Mann, urging focus on their unfulfilled assurances rather than on what he termed baseless accusations.
“These are fabricated stories created by AAP MLAs in Punjab to cover up their failures. The promises made by Arvind Kejriwal, the Aam Aadmi Party, and Bhagwant Mann remain unfulfilled. Attention should be focused on that, not on baseless allegations,” Saini added.
Earlier, Bharaj, the MLA from Sangrur, claimed that Saini had sent an intermediary to approach her with an offer for a private meeting to discuss local BJP politics and potential assurances for future elections. She stated that she could not be influenced and had shared evidence with her party and the media.
“Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini sent someone from Sangrur to me, offering a closed-door meeting and discussions on the politics of Sangrur BJP and future elections. I cannot be bought. I am a true soldier of my party. I presented all the evidence to my party and the media today,” Bharaj said.
