Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini demonstrates hands-on leadership through 24/7 public accessibility, regular field visits, and direct communication with officials. His governance style combines traditional administrative approaches with modern public outreach, while simultaneously working on BJP's Delhi election strategy.
Building a Bridge Between Administration and Public
Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini has established a distinctive governance model by keeping his residence open to the public round the clock. During his tours, he frequently halts his convoy to interact directly with citizens, listening to their grievances and ensuring immediate action through officials. In a recent development, he conducted a comprehensive review meeting with all Divisional Commissioners and Deputy Commissioners, emphasizing that the public is the ultimate authority and administration must work accordingly.
Administrative Reforms under Nayab Saini
Taking citizen-centric governance to the next level, Saini has issued new directives requiring all District Deputy Commissioners (DCs) and Superintendents of Police (SPs) to conduct weekly coordination meetings. Additionally, these officials must spend one night per month in villages to understand rural issues firsthand. This initiative mirrors successful practices of former chief ministers like Bhajan Lal, Bansi Lal, and Om Prakash Chautala, while adding modern administrative touches.
Strategic Political Positioning
While strengthening his administrative grip on Haryana, Saini is actively involved in BJP's strategy for Delhi elections. He regularly meets with central minister Manohar Lal and other senior BJP leaders to craft the party's approach for Delhi. His success in securing BJP's third consecutive term in Haryana has positioned him as a key strategist for the party's Delhi campaign.
Night Calls with DCs and Direct Supervision
In a unique approach to administration, CM Saini personally calls DCs and SPs every night before retiring, seeking detailed reports about their respective regions. This hands-on approach ensures constant monitoring of development works and immediate addressing of public issues. The officials are also required to submit monthly reports about their village stays to the Chief Secretary's office, establishing a formal mechanism for rural development monitoring.
Beyond Traditional Governance
Saini's governance model combines elements from successful former chief ministers while adding his own innovative approaches. His emphasis on developing village infrastructure based on direct public feedback and ensuring eligible beneficiaries receive scheme benefits has created a new paradigm in public administration. This approach not only strengthens BJP's position in Haryana but also serves as a model for other states.
