“As per the CM’s announcement, we had sent proposals for various development works worth Rs 5 crore to the government over one and a half year, but the proposals are still lying unapproved. Shaheed samaraks are lying incomplete, while no fund has been released to various dharamshalas in Jhajjar for the completion of the construction work after the Congress government,” said Bhukkal while interacting with media after the meeting. The MLA maintained that she would not tolerate “injustice” with Jhajjar district in terms of development and would raise the issue in the Assembly if the proposals for development works were not executed soon.
