State slipping on all parameters: Hooda

Chandigarh, October 26

Former CM and Leader of Opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda has described the BJP-JJP government in the state as the “most corrupt, inefficient and worthless government in the history of Haryana”, which has pushed back the state on every developmental parameter.

Addressing a press conference, here today, on the completion of seven years of the BJP and two years of the BJP-JJP alliance, Hooda said the alliance partners had not fulfilled even a single promise during their term.

Announcing that the second ‘Vipaksh Aapkay Samaksh’ programme would be held in Jind on November 14, Hooda said the event was a success because the state had no time for people and their grievances. “It became clear from the programme that people are upset with inflation, unemployment, corruption, crime, water and power shortage, non-purchase of paddy as well as millets and breach of promises by the leaders of the ruling parties. Due to this sentiment in the constituency of the CM, the turnout was higher than expected,” he said.

He said the BJP and the JJP had forgotten their election manifestos. “The coalition government did not provide pension of Rs 5,100 and did not implement the old pension scheme. The farmers were not given free tubewell connections and the promise of 24-hour electricity supply was not fulfilled,” he said.

Hooda asked seven questions from the alliance for completing seven years. He sought to know why farmers were being disrespected, why the state was running away from investigation into scams. —TNS
