Haryana CM Nayab Saini Rebuts AAP Allegations Of 'Operation Lotus', Says Party Trying To Hide Own Failures

Chandigarh: Rebutting the allegations of the Punjab Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) that he tried to lure its MLA into BJP under ``Operation Lotus'', the Haryana chief minister Nayab Saini on Friday held that the same were baseless and fabricated and that these were made to hide the party's (AAP's) own failures. Addressing newspersons in Delhi, Saini alleged that AAP first showed false dreams to the people of Delhi and deceived them. Later, in Punjab, it made promises that remained unfulfilled, causing distress among the people there. It may be recalled that the Punjab ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Thursday had accused Haryana chief minister Saini of ``attempting to lure one of its MLA to resign from the party and join BJP. pic.twitter.com/Q9TxrodCzp Nayab Saini (@NayabSainiBJP) February 13, 2026 The chief minister alleged the people of Punjab first voted for Congress, but Congress betrayed them. Later, they voted for AAP, which he described as a mega-deception. He claimed that law and order in Punjab is in poor condition and farmers are facing severe hardships. Women, Farmers In Focus As PM Modi Takes First Big Decisions From Seva Teerth Also Watch: Referring to flood compensation, he said that in Punjab, AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal spoke of giving Rs 20,000 as compensation to farmers, but in Gujarat he claimed that Rs 50,000 had been given to Punjab farmers. He termed this as misleading farmers and reiterated that the MLAs allegations are factually incorrect and aimed at hiding shortcomings. He accused AAP of indulging in pressure politics in Punjab and said the party should fulfil its promises made to the public. On his recent visits to Punjab, Saini said Punjab is like home. He said whenever he is invited to Punjab, he visited there. He added that Punjab is the land of the Gurus, and it is a matter of pride that the Gurus also blessed the land of Haryana with their presence.

T20 WC: Scoring Fifty In The Tournament In India Is Special, Says Canadas Dhaliwal

T20 World Cup: Veteran Canada batter Navneet Dhaliwal said hitting a fifty in the group-stage clash against South Africa in the Mens T20 World Cup carried added significance as it came in a country where cricket is adored a lot. Dhaliwals fighting fifty went in vain as South Africa beat Canada by 57 runs in Ahmedabad. Canada are now looking to get their first win over UAE at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Friday afternoon. Scoring fifty in World Cup cricket while playing in a nation with such a massive population where cricket is like a religion is special. Every second person plays here. The grinding is what I learned from Punjab and playing in India. The passion people have for the game helped me survive those tough periods in Canada, both in cricket and in my professional life. A bit of a discipline problem we have a little bit for sure, but when you need someone to stand in the middle and fight for their country, you see the true spirit of a Punjabi. They might be hard to control sometimes, but they'll fight until the end, Dhaliwal told broadcasters ahead of the clash. Dhaliwal reflected on the contrasting cricketing cultures in India and Canada, noting the challenges of balancing sport with professional life coming in a non-Test playing nation. Cricket in Canada is different from what you expect in Test nations. In the big nations, players are well-paid, but in Canada, you have to work. You have a family to support, and it isn't easy juggling your passion with your profession. But the World Cup is a huge stage, especially in India. I promised myself I'd keep fighting through every game to perform and get selected, and that's why I'm here today. Dhaliwal reflected on the contrasting cricketing cultures in India and Canada, noting the challenges of balancing sport with professional life coming in a non-Test playing nation.
