Hisar, July 11

Former Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda on Friday said if the Congress came to power in Haryana, they would launch a decisive war against criminals and drug menace in the state.

Addressing a workers meeting in Fatehabad town, he said, “If the Congress government is formed, we will eradicate criminals and drug menace from Haryana. The Congress government will curb crime by improving law and order and protecting the life and property of every citizen.”

Hooda said the state was being run by a BJP government of U-turns and flop schemes. “In about 10 years of its regime, none of the schemes of this government proved to be successful and served public interest. Now, the BJP government is taking a U-turn from all earlier decisions,” he said.

On law and order, the senior Congress leader said it must be the foremost priority of any government to ensure safety of the lives and property in the state. Recalling his tenure as CM, Hooda said, “The Congress government had ended the reign of terror of miscreants and gangsters from the state immediately after it came to power in Haryana in 2005. We handed over a safe and developed Haryana to the BJP in 2014. But the present government has turned the state into a crime state.”
