Bhupinder Hooda poses 7 questions on seven years of BJP govt

Chandigarh, October 27

Former Chief Minister and Leader of Opposition Bhupinder Hooda has asked seven more questions to the government on the completion of seven years of the BJP and it’s coalition with the JJP in Haryana.

In a press statement, he sought to know how many posts were lying vacant in different government departments and why these aren’t being filled. He said the government should tell how many people lost their lives during the Covid period due to the shortage of oxygen, medicines and hospital beds and why it had not taken any steps to identify such victims. He questioned the difference between the official Covid toll and the actual number of deaths during this period.

At a press meet on Tuesday, Hooda had announced that he will ask seven questions from the government. In keeping with that announcement, he issued the list of questions in which he also asked why big projects like Rail Coach Factory and Meham Airport, approved during the Congress regime, moved to other states and why the state government didn’t oppose their shift.

He sought information on the steps taken by the state government to give relief to the public from the rising prices of diesel and petrol. Hooda said though no major project, industry, institute, new Metro or railway line came up in Haryana in the seven years of this government, the debt burden on the state increased from about Rs 60,000 crore to about Rs 2.5 lakh crore.

The former CM also asked the government to explain how a power-surplus state saw a decline in its generation and what steps did it take to find a positive solution to protest by farmers against the three laws. — TNS
