The Haryana Cabinet, led by Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, has scheduled a one-day special session of the Vidhan Sabha on April 27. During this session, the Haryana Clerical Services (Recruitment and Conditions of Service) Bill, 2026, will be presented. In a meeting in Gurugram, the Cabinet also agreed to establish the necessary regulations for promoting Group D employees within the common cadre.
The Chief Minister announced that Group D employees with more than five years of service are now eligible for promotion to the position of clerk. The approved draft of the Haryana Clerical Services Bill includes a provision to raise the promotion quota from Group D to clerk from 20% to 30%. Furthermore, the regulations now include a mandate to reserve 5% of positions on an ex gratia basis.
Regarding the Women’s Reservation Bill’s recent failure to secure a two-thirds majority in the Lok Sabha, CM Saini criticized the Opposition parties. He accused them of revealing their anti-women stance and power-hungry motives during the events of April 16 and 17 in Parliament. The Chief Minister emphasized the importance of women’s participation in decision-making processes as a fundamental right, not a charitable act.
CM Saini highlighted the Opposition’s misleading claims about delimitation negatively impacting certain states’ parliamentary representation. He clarified that no state would face reduced representation, countering the Opposition’s false narratives. The Chief Minister expressed confidence that women voters would respond strongly to these anti-women political parties in the future.
