Panipat, December 24
Leader of the Opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda has claimed the Congress would win the December 27 MC elections and the party’s victory would shake the foundation of the BJP-JJP government.
He was here on Thursday to campaign for the party’s mayoral candidate Nikhil Madan and other nominees. He held meetings at 14 places.
“The local body elections are an opportunity for the people to teach a lesson to the BJP. The government has ignored the aspirations of Sonepat residents,” the former Chief Minister said.
He claimed the previous Congress government had carried out several development works in the city. “Railway lines were laid, roads were constructed, and hospitals, medical colleges and universities were built during my regime. The BJP-JJP government, on the contrary, is a byword for scams,” he claimed.
Hooda further said, “The state was number one in per capita income, investment and development six years ago. Now, it tops in corruption, unemployment and crime. The law and order situation in Sonepat is so bad that no woman feels safe here.”
