Mahendragarh/Bhiwani, Aug 3
Rohtak MP Deepender Hooda on Saturday again targetted the BJP on the “stoic silence” it has maintined on the repeated posers by the Congress on its 10-year rule.
Haryana capital of temporary jobs
In the past 10 years, the BJP government has ended government jobs in the state, and made it the capital of temporary jobs without quota, without pension, without merit. — Deepender Hooda, Congress leader
He took out a ‘padyatra’ under the Congress’ ‘Haryana Mange Hisaab’ campaign in the Nangal Choudhary Assembly segment, where the party candidate stood third in the 2019 elections by receiving only 4.22 per cent votes.
Mahendragarh is a part of Ahirwal, a region dominated by the Ahir community, and the BJP had won three of the four seats in the district in previous poll.
Deepender flagged the issue of lack of potable and canal water, and the shortage of doctors and teachers during the march. “There is no water in canals, no doctors in hospitals and no teachers in schools. Teachers have not been recruited over the last 10 years and schools have been locked. Haryana has become a state, where even sportspersons had to sit on a dharna to get justice. We are posing questions to the BJP government, but it is not answering,” said the MP.
The ‘padyatra’ started from the grain market and ended at Gurjar Dharamshala in Nangal Chaudhary. Party supporters carried placards and raising the slogan of “BJP sarkar-hisab do, hisab do”.
Deepender claimed that the BJP was using the Central agencies to target Opposition leaders. “ED raids are being conducted on Congress MLAs’ premises, but after two months, people of Haryana will target the BJP, and throw it out of power,” he said.
The MP claimed that the state was plagued by illegal mining and corruption. “There is no such group left in the state that has not had to come out on the streets against this government. The BJP government insulted every class. Sarpanches, youths demanding the Ahir regiment, anganwadi and Asha workers were all lathicharged. As many as 750 farmers lost their lives in the farm protest,” he said.
Continuing his yatra in Bhiwani, he raised the issue of lack of jobs in the state and said, “The BJP government has made Haryana the capital of temporary jobs without reservation, without pension, without merit.”
