State in chaos, not celebration: Selja on BJP govt’s first year

The Congress MP from Sirsa, Kumari Selja, has strongly criticised the Haryana Government’s celebration of one year under Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, calling it a year of “inflation, unemployment, corruption and mismanagement.”

Selja said that while the BJP government was celebrating, people were struggling with basic problems. She said the government’s achievements existed only in advertisements, while on the ground, people faced a serious crisis of law and order, public health, and infrastructure.

“This one year will be remembered as a symbol of public neglect and injustice,” she said, adding that the government should focus on real issues such as clean water, roads, sanitation and safety instead of hosting celebrations.

Selja raised serious concerns about rising crime, saying that criminals were openly committing murders and extorting money from traders, while the police remained inactive. “There is a jungle-raj-like situation in the state,” she warned.

She also slammed the government for the collapse of the water and sewerage systems. In most districts, clean drinking water is unavailable, leading to the spread of diseases. Cities like Sirsa, she said, were suffering from poor sanitation and rising drug addiction and cancer cases, but the government had shown no concern.

Selja pointed out that despite promises to repair all roads by June 30, many roads remained in a poor state. She also raised farmers issues such as fair crop prices and difficulties getting DAP.
