Former Chief Minister and Leader of Opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda today said the BJP-JJP government in the state had failed to perform in the state and done nothing but harass farmers and the common man during the first two years of its tenure.

Bharat Beniwal joins Congress campaign

Hisar: Congress candidate Pawan Beniwal got a shot in the arm on Saturday when his arch-rival and ex-MLA Bharat Beniwal joined the campaign for him along with HPCC chief Kumari Selja. Bharat had been upset with the party after he was denied ticket and had shown signs of rebellion.

Addressing a news conference at his Rohtak residence, the Leader of Opposition maintained that systematic procurement of paddy was not taking place, owing to which farmers were compelled to sell their produce at lower rates.

Hooda also pointed out that there was an acute shortage of DAP fertiliser in the state. “Farmers have to wait in long queues for several hours but are still unable to procure the fertiliser,” he said.

The Congress leader said the common man was also grappling with the problems of lack of clean drinking water, long power cuts and bad roads.

Pointing out that the BJP-JJP government had failed to perform, the Minister said: “On behalf of the Congress Legislature Party, we have started a Vipaksh Aapke Samaksh drive to expose all anti-people policies and failures of the government,” he said, adding that the next stop would be in Jind, after the Ellenabad elections.
