Lok Sabha results have deflated the BJP's balloon, which was inflated by fake surveys, propaganda and events - Hooda

CHANDIGARH: Former chief minister and leader of opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda has said on Monday that the Lok Sabha election results have deflated the BJP's balloon, which was inflated by fake surveys, propaganda and events. The public has clearly stated that they will not fall into any illusion of BJP, and will not rest until it wipes out this government from Haryana.
Hooda said while Congress' 'Dhanyawadi Karyakarta Sammelan' held in Palwal. He was accompanied by many senior leaders of the party including Haryana Congress President Chaudhary Udaibhan, senior leader Karan Singh Dalal, Chaudhary Israel were present.
Former minister Harsh Chaudhary, who was MLA from Hathin for two terms, joined Congress today after leaving JJP. Along with him, about 20 leaders and hundreds of workers also left BJP and JJP and joined Congress. Hooda and Chaudhary Udaibhan welcomed all the leaders to the party and assured full respect. Both the leaders also thanked the public for supporting Congress in the Lok Sabha elections and lauded the workers for their efforts.
In his address, Hooda said the Congress government had made Palwal a district. “At that time, the government got many development works done including the construction of a modern secretariat. After coming to power, the BJP put a brake on all development works. In the entire tenure, this government did not take the metro forward even an inch in Haryana, including Palwal,” he said.
“The government did not lay a new railway line, did not build any big university, did not build any big hospital, did not complete and start any new medical college, did not set up any big industry and did not install any power plant. Still, this government put the state in debt of 4.5 lakh crores. Today, neither new industries are coming to the state, nor is the state getting new investments, and as a result new employment is not being generated,” he stated.
“Haryana has become the number one state in unemployment, crime and drug abuse. More than 2 lakh posts are lying vacant in government departments, but permanent jobs are being abolished through schemes like Agniveer and Kaushal Nigam,” he added.
Hooda promised that these vacant posts will be filled through permanent recruitments after the formation of the Congress government. “The elderly will be given a pension of Rs 6000 and the employees will be given the benefit of the old pension scheme. The poor will get free treatment worth Rs 25 lakh in Haryana, on the lines of the Congress government of Rajasthan,” he promised.
“Three hundred units of free electricity and gas cylinder for Rs 500 will be given to provide relief from inflation. The scheme of providing free plots and houses of 100 yards each for the poor, SC and OBC will be started again. The limit of creamy layer will be increased to Rs 10 lakh to give full benefit of reservation to the backward class. Also, Congress will promote sports by re-implementing the policy of 'Padak Lao, Pad Pao' for the players,” he added.
