Ambala, July 5

Former Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda today said the BJP has failed on all fronts and it was making fake announcements in view of the upcoming Assembly elections.

Speaking to mediapersons, Hooda said, “The BJP government has no achievements to show and it is just making fake announcements to woo the voters. The BJP has conceded defeat even before the elections. All announcements are merely an eyewash. The people of Haryana have decided to form the next government of Congress in the state. People know when the government has done nothing in the past nine years, how can they expect it from them now.”

“In the Lok Sabha elections, the vote share of the Congress has improved in Haryana and this indicates that the people of the state have made up their mind to elect the Congress in the Assembly elections. The BJP has failed to provide jobs and the Haryana Kaushal Rozgar Nigam has been a source of corruption. More than two lakh posts are lying vacant in government departments. Instead of making permanent recruitment, the government is filling the posts through Kaushal Nigam and rubbing salt on the wounds of educated youth,” he added.

The former CM said, “The BJP, which has gone back on all its announcements made in 2014 and 2019 elections, wants to trap the public in the illusion of new announcements. The Congress government had distributed free plots of 100 yards each to 4 lakh poor families. But the BJP, which has stopped this welfare scheme of the Congress, is now making a fake announcement of distributing 30-yard plot.”

“The truth is the government has not identified any land for the plots, no demarcation has been done, no map been revealed, and there has been no mention of water connection, roads, streets and sewerage,” he pointed out.

About the CM face and candidates in the Assembly elections, Hooda said, “The candidates will be selected on the basis of winnability. The MLAs and the party high command will decide the CM of Congress.” Ambala MP Varun Chaudhry, former minister Nirmal Singh, Chitra Sarwara, Himmat Singh, Ashok Mehta, Jasbir Mallour, and several other leaders were also present.
