"In last 10 years, no class left that has not been cheated by BJP". says Congress' Randeep Surjewala after Haryana election schedule announcement

New Delhi [India], August 17 : Congress MP Randeep Surjewala accused the BJP-led Haryana government of cheating the people of the state ahead of assembly polls in the state in October.
Congress MP Randeep Surjewala said "The 10-year tenure of atrocities of the Bharatiya Janata Party has come to an end. In the last 10 years, there is no class left that has not been cheated by the BJP."
"The people of Haryana are going to initiate the end of the Bharatiya Janata Party on October 1", the Congress leader said.
The Assembly elections for Haryana will be held in a single phase on October 1 and the polling in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir will be held in three phases from September 18 to October 1. The counting of votes will take place on October 4.
Earlier, on Friday, following the announcement of the Haryana Assembly election, former Haryana Chief Minister and Union Minister Manohar Lal Khattar asserted that the BJP will form the government for the third time in the state as the public has lost faith in Congress.
"I welcome the announcement and our workers were already preparing to contest the elections. And of course, just like the government has been formed at the Centre under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi, in the same way, the BJP will form the government for the third time in Haryana. The public has lost faith in Congress and the people of Haryana will not trust them," Khattar told reporters.
He further said that the Bharatiya Janata Party would register its victory for the third time in Haryana."BJP will register its victory for the third time in Haryana... Bhupinder Singh Hooda did caste-based politics and the people of Haryana will think above caste-based politics. In 2014, we talked about 'Haryana Ek Haryanvi Ek' and talked about ending the 3Cs - crime, corruption and caste politics," he added.
Bhupinder Hooda who is the face of the Congress campaign in Haryana however, is confident that this time the Congress will wrest the state from the BJP.
"Congress is ready and people of all sections have decided to bring Congress to power," said Bhupinder Singh Hooda.
The term of the current government in Haryana will end on November 3, 2024, and elections will take place in 90 legislative assembly constituencies in the state. After the 2019 elections, the BJP, with 40 seats in the 90-member assembly, formed a coalition government with the JJP. The JJP had won 10 seats, while the Congress had won 31 seats. The BJP-JJP alliance broke earlier this year.
In 2024, Haryana is likely to see a four-way contest between the BJP, the Congress, the JJP, and the AAP.
