Chandigarh, November 16

Stung by a humiliating defeat in the Ellenabad byelection where its official candidate Pawan Beniwal lost the security deposit, the Congress leadership is hitting the ground again with a mega outreach programme at Jind on November 18.

In fact, broad contours of “Vipaksh aapke samaksh”, an outreach programme conceptualised by Leader of Opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda, were discussed at the Congress Legislature Party (CLP) meeting here.

It was felt at the meeting that the state leadership should connect with the people at the grassroots level in a big way at such outreach programmes at a time when the common man was at the receiving end of the “lopsided” policies of the BJP-JJP government in the state.

“The BJP-JJP government is engaged in destroying jobs, business, forests, mountains, rivers, agriculture, law and order, health system and brotherhood,” Hooda alleged.

Bhupinder Hooda asserted that issues related to every section, including farmers, employees, traders and youth, were discussed at the CLP meeting.
