Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, who has been recently made Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP's) election in-charge for Haryana on Sunday, asked the party workers to gear up for the upcoming state assembly elections and reach out to the people to expose the Congress’ “falsehood” and “misrule”.
Pradhan, addressing the party workers in Rohtak, asked the leaders to gear up for the upcoming poll. “The government of the poor, farmers, deprived sections and common people will once again come to power in Haryana after the elections,” he said, in the presence of Union Power Minister and former Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, Union Minister Krishan Pal Gurjar, and senior party leader Biplab Kumar Deb.
In his address, Pradhan said that the workers play a key role in shaping the success of any battle or any difficult task. The workers have every right on the party as Saini or anyone else has, he said.
Maintaining that the BJP can take Haryana to new heights, Pradhan said that the country's progress is not possible without the state's progress. “We have been serving people with full honesty. There are 19,812 booths in Haryana, 7,200 villages, and 22 districts…There are about 100 days left for the polls and in this ‘Mission 100 days’, the party workers should reach every household to expose the Congress’ falsehood and misrule which prevailed when they ruled the state,” he said.
Referring to the recently-held Lok Sabha polls, he said that the Congress had spread falsehood that BJP, if it comes to power at the Centre again, will end reservation. He asked the people not to be misled by the falsehood spread by the Congress.
With the Congress leaders in recent weeks claiming that people have made up their mind to bring the grand old party back to power in Haryana, Pradhan said: “Those who think they can once again loot Haryana, they should leave the dream. The BJP is going to come to power for the third time.”
He said that people have still not forgotten the “atrocities on Dalits” during the Congress rule. Pradhan touched upon several initiatives taken by the BJP led governments at the Centre and in Haryana for the welfare of poor, Dalits, OBCs and other sections. “We have to take before people the corruption and misrule of the Congress,” he said.
Asserting that BJP has given good governance in Haryana, Pradhan said that loot, corruption, and dynastic rule prevailed during the Congress' time. “We will not leave any stone unturned in taking Haryana forward,”he added.
Speaking on the occasion, Khattar said: “Our target is to form the BJP government for the third time in Haryana. No party till today has formed the government for the third time in row and the BJP will create this record.”
Taking potshots at the Congress, Khattar said that the grand old party spread various rumours and falsehood. “It is not that they will not spread rumours again in the Vidhan Sabha polls. But we have to remain cautious,” said Khattar, asking the party workers to expose the Congress' falsehood before the people.
Tripura’s former Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb, the co-incharge for the state, made a scathing attack on Congress leaders — Bhupinder Singh Hooda and his son Deepender Singh Hooda. “They want ‘baap-beta ki sarkar’. But people have made up their mind to bring back the BJP government,” he said.
Deb alleged that "jungle raj" prevailed during the Congress rule in Haryana whereas now it is people's rule. “We don't work for a family, we work for people, for Haryana,” he said.
Union Minister Gurjar echoed similar sentiments and called upon the party workers to work hard over the next three months to realise the aim of the BJP forming the government for the third time in Haryana.

BJP will form Govt for third time with a big mandate: CM Saini
Rohtak: Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Sunday said that it is Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s pledge to make the country developed by 2047; and in this, Haryana is also playing its role. “In October, BJP will form the government for the third time in Haryana with a big mandate,” Saini said.
“During nearly 10 years of BJP rule in Haryana, we used technology so that people get benefits at their doorsteps. Corruption and favouritism was prevalent during the Congress rule whereas the present government ensured good governance,” he said.
The Chief Minister said that BJP workers will visit every home and tell people about the steps taken by his government for the poor, women, farmers, youth and other sections of the society. “Our workers will expose the Congress before the people and their lies won't succeed,” he added.
