In a major decision taken a day after taking oath as Haryana Chief Minister, Nayab Singh Saini on October 18 announced that dialysis services for chronic kidney patients will be provided free of cost in all government hospitals in the state.

According to a statement from the Department of Public Relations (DPR) Haryana, Saini also announced that in future, free dialysis facility will also be provided in all medical colleges.

Saini took oath, BJP demonstrated strength
Emerging as the star of the BJP's Haryana 2024 assembly election campaign, Saini was sworn in as the chief minister on October 17. Haryana Governor Bandaru Dattatreya administered the oath of office to Saini and 13 others at a ceremony held in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other key alliance leaders.

He wrote on Twitter, “Heartfelt gratitude to the 2.80 crore people of Haryana for the mandate that has given impetus to the development and reconstruction of Haryana. I am grateful to Prime Minister Modi ji for giving me the opportunity to become the Chief Minister of Haryana… Your kind regards towards Haryana. (The Prime Minister's) special affection gives us unlimited energy to work hard. This continuous journey of development will continue in the state every day with full majority. The government will work with full energy and enthusiasm for good governance, equality and welfare of the poor.”

According to the PTI report, Saini was a “surprise choice” to replace BJP's Haryana stalwart ML Khattar, but he proved his critics wrong by winning over the resurgent Congress in the state and its anti-incumbency rhetoric. Did it. The OBC leader is now leading the party's third consecutive government in the state, having won 48 of the 90 assembly seats. Three independents, including India's richest woman, billionaire Savitri Jindal, also extended their support to the BJP government.
