On July 31, 2026, India — Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, speaking at the 87th Martyrdom Day commemoration of Udham Singh in Sanaur, Punjab, launched a political attack on Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and the India — Aam Aadmi Party government. Saini demanded that Mann publicly disclose how many of the 56 promises made by AAP before the 2022 Punjab Assembly elections have been fulfilled, noting that only about four months remain before the next elections. He also raised allegations of irregularities in the recruitment of Excise Inspectors in Punjab, calling it an injustice to talented youth. Saini contrasted AAP's record with the India — Bharatiya Janata Party's performance in India — Haryana, claiming that of 217 'Sankalps' (promises) made in the 2024 India — Haryana elections, 70 have been fulfilled within one-and-a-half years. He praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership and asserted that only a BJP government in Punjab could fulfill Udham Singh's vision for youth development. The event was attended by former Union Minister Preneet Kaur, organizer Hardeep Singh Puri, and several religious figures.
