Chandigarh: The khichri served was organic. So was the message. Prime Minister Narendra Modi met all 48 BJP MLAs from Haryana at his residence at 7, Lok Kalyan Marg in New Delhi Saturday. He told them to look beyond routine governance and to push natural farming, cooperative farming and solar energy among their voters.
Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, BJP national president Nitin Nabin and state BJP president Dr Archana Gupta were present at the meeting. So were Haryana BJP in-charge Smriti Irani, co-in-charge and BJP national secretary Dr Bhola Singh, and state organisation general secretary Pawan Rana.
Saini posted pictures of the meeting on X. In a post in Hindi, he wrote that the interaction was warm and the discussion “meaningful and positive”.
He said discussions were centered around the state’s development, public welfare and ways to make the party organisation more effective.

Push for natural, cooperative farming
Speaking to ThePrint, Haryana BJP president Dr Archana Gupta said Sunday that the Prime Minister gave guidance on several issues. His main focus, she said, was natural and cooperative farming, so that both people’s health and farmers’ incomes could improve.
“He said that the excessive use of DAP and Urea fertilisers and pesticides was rendering our agricultural produce full of chemicals and harmful to eat. He said turning to natural farming could provide people with healthier food,” she said.
Gupta said Modi also made a case for cooperative farming, where groups of farmers come together to form farmer producer organisations (FPOs). This, he said, would cut input costs because machinery could be used on bigger holdings. It would also save the land now lost to medhs, the boundaries between fields.
The MLAs were also advised to persuade farmers to install small solar units on their fields under the PM-KUSUM Yojana. They were also asked to urge people to set up rooftop solar at home under the PM Surya Ghar Yojana.
Further, the Prime Minister suggested that the MLAs go among the people and serve them better, Gupta said. She added that the Haryana BJP had already started the Namo Sewa Portal for this purpose.
‘Go beyond normal work’
Haryana minister Vipul Goel, who holds the Revenue and Disaster Management, Urban Local Bodies and Civil Aviation portfolios, said the key takeaway was the Prime Minister’s advice to do something for the people beyond the government’s routine work.
“When we work for laying of new roads, repairs of existing ones, laying sewer lines etc, people know this is normal work a government is expected to do. The PM wanted the MLAs to go beyond normal work and do some social service,” said Goel, who represents Faridabad.
Goel said he got a chance to speak to the Prime Minister and told him that since the BJP came to power in Haryana under his guidance, people’s perception of political leaders had changed. “So far, political leaders used to behave like Maharajas and common people hesitated in interacting with them. But now, with the PM working for more than 18 hours a day, and our Haryana CM following his footsteps, the perception of leaders has changed,” Goel said.
Talk of the three Lals
Randhir Singh Panihar, the Nalwa MLA from Hisar, said he told the Prime Minister that he was already doing social work through the Bhajan Global Impact Foundation, under the guidance of Kuldeep Bishnoi. Panihar is a known supporter of Bishnoi, the son of former chief minister Bhajan Lal.
Panihar said Modi spoke of his long association with all three “Lals” of Haryana: Bhajan Lal, Devi Lal and Bansi Lal.
The Prime Minister also spoke about the importance of planting trees, Panihar said. He said he told Modi that Guru Jambheshwar Maharaj had always preached the protection of trees, and that Bishnoi was carrying that message forward. The BJP legislator called the interaction with Modi “highly inspiring” for all the MLAs.
Two years done, three to go
Gurugram MLA Mukesh Sharma told ThePrint, “We were not just blessed to get his guidance on important issues, but also enjoyed savouring organic khichri, snacks, and tea and coffee with him.”
Sharma said the basic aim of the meeting was to guide MLAs. Two years of the present term were behind them, he said, and only three were left for the 2029 Assembly polls.
The Prime Minister advised them to go among the people, learn about their problems and work to solve them, he added.
On waterlogging in Gurugram, Sharma said work is being done to improve the situation. “We are building rainwater harvesting in schools, colleges, ITIs and other government buildings, and cleaning of drains has already started for the next monsoon,” he said. Existing drains, he said, already carry water towards Najafgarh drain, adding that another drain is being set up to carry water in the opposite direction towards Sohna and Nuh.
