Kaushal Nigam, casual workers will be made permanent: Bhupinder Hooda
Jhajjar: Leader of Opposition and former Chief Minister Bhupendra Singh Hooda on Wednesday said that the ruling BJP was a shop of lies, which starts selling goods of hatred and confusion as soon as it opens in the morning. Addressing a public meeting in Chhara of the Beri Vidhan Sabha in Jhajjar district, Hooda said the BJP ruled the state for 10 years, but its leaders do not mention a single work in their speeches, rather, due to their selfishness, they keep trying to break the brotherhood of the state. “The lies being spread through BJP's platforms, rallies and social media are the biggest proof of the failure of this government,” he said. He appealed to the public to vote in support of Congress candidate from Beri Assembly Dr. Raghuveer Singh Kadyan. Hooda said that in the elections, on one side there is BJP which makes false promises, while Congress stands on the other side, which keeps its promises. “We do what we say. We have promised to accommodate the contract workers and temporary employees under Kaushal Rojgar Nigam and make them permanent. After the formation of the government, they will be made permanent by making a strong policy. Earlier also we had made thousands of temporary employees permanent and in future also we will take this decision in the interest of the employees,” he said.
