Karnal: Hitting out at BJP, Haryana’s former Chief Minister and the Leader of Opposition in Vidhan Sabha Bhupinder Singh Hooda on Sunday said that about 10-year tenure of the BJP-led Government will be known only and only for its failures. BJP led State Government has proved to be a failure on every front, which included unemployment, giving fair crop prices to farmers among others, he said, addressing the party leaders and workers in a programme in Karnal. Applauding the party workers and leaders during the recent Lok Sabha elections, Hooda said that the state’s election results have been good in this election. He asked the workers to implement a two-point action plan for upcoming assembly elections. “First, the failures of BJP government in 10 years, false promises, false work, corruption have to be taken to every family, and the question has to be asked that what did this government do in 10 years,” he said, adding that then we should take the work of previous Congress government in 10 years to every house and what will be done in future has to be told.
