MC meetings turn battleground

Ambala: The House meetings of the Ambala Municipal Corporation continue to be a battleground of the BJP’s elected and nominated members and officials of the civic body. A recent meeting ended without discussing any agenda. Deputy mayor, who belongs to the Haryana Jan Chetna Party, termed it to be the worst meeting. The deputy mayor said disturbance was being created in meetings in a pre-planned manner. “It seems some House members don’t want any development in the city,” he said.

Jansamvad Campaign or PR drive

Faridabad: During the ongoing Jansamvad programme, meetings are held to redress public grievances in various Assembly segments. According to some political analysts, the drive also points towards certain other political interests. “Though the MLAs or ministers should hold grievances redressal meetings in their own respective constituencies, it is surprising that they hold such congregations in segments of other leaders resulting in embarrassment to them,” remarked a political activist. He described Jansamvad meetings as only a PR drive aimed at canvassing for the next elections.

Capt Abhimanyu’s statement surprises many

Hisar: Former Finance Minister Capt Abhimanyu’s comment that he would strive to end the political exile and work to restore the political glory of Hisar in Haryana and national politics has surprised many in the political circles. At present, there are three ministers and the Deputy Speaker in the Assembly, who belong to Hisar district. Moreover, the Power Minister regularly visits Hisar on the fifth of every month and holds bijli panchayat. “Though there is a lopsided representation in Haryana Assembly from Hisar district, Capt Abhimanyu’s statement might have a deeper significance,” said a political activist.
