"BJP brought Haryana to the top in unemployment, drug addiction, crime, corruption": Congress MP Deepender Hooda
Aug 19, 2024
Ambala (Haryana) [India], August 19 : With political tensions escalating following the announcement of assembly poll dates in Haryana, Congress MP Deepender Singh Hooda criticised the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), accusing the party of derailing the state's development and placing Haryana at the top of the country in terms of unemployment, drug addiction, crime, and corruption.
Addressing Congress' "Haryana Mange Hisaab" rally at Ambala Cantonment on Sunday, the Rohtak MP targeted the current Haryana government and Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, asserting that the BJP had made numerous announcements but had failed to implement any of them.
Hooda further criticised the BJP, claiming that "these announcements are either false and cannot be implemented, or the party never intended to implement these schemes."
Discussing preparations for the upcoming state elections, Hooda said, "In the last few days, I have visited about 50 assembly constituencies, and the overwhelming sentiment is clear: the BJP government is on its way out, and the Congress government is coming in."
Commenting on the law and order situation in Haryana, Hooda pointed out that, according to a report released by the Government of India, Haryana currently has the highest crime rate in the country.
Earlier, on Saturday, Congress MP Randeep Surjewala accused the BJP-led Haryana government of deceiving the state's people ahead of the assembly polls in October.
"The 10-year tenure of atrocities under the Bharatiya Janata Party has come to an end. In the last 10 years, no class has been spared from being cheated by the BJP," Surjewala stated.
"The people of Haryana are going to initiate the end of the Bharatiya Janata Party on October 1," he added.
The Assembly elections in Haryana will be held in a single phase on October 1, with polling in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir taking place in three phases from September 18 to October 1. The counting of votes is scheduled for October 4.
