The Monsoon Session of Haryana Assembly, starting from Friday is likely to be stormy as opposition parties INlD and BJP are ready to take on ruling Congress on several issues, including land scams, law and order problems, compensation for damaged crops due to Yamuna floods in several districts, adverse effect of iron tablets on school going children, delay in availability of text books for school children and other development related issues.
Abhay Chautala, senior leader of INlD and MlA from Ellenabad said that there are numbers of burning issues for which Bhupinder Singh Hooda government has no answers. INlD has called a meeting of all its MlAs on Friday morning before the start of the session. “Various land scams in the name of SEZ and shoddy deal between Robert Vadra, son in law of Congress President Sonia Gandhi and reality giant DlF took place with the connivance of state government, for which Hooda government is answerable. We will ask government to discuss such issues on priority basis”, added INlD state unit chief and Thanesar MlA, Ashok Arora. BJP has also called a meeting of its MlAs at 12 noon on Friday to discuss floor strategy.
Anil Vij, BJP legislator said that already a call attention notice has been to the Speaker to discuss Robert Vadra-DlF land deal issue. He demanded the government to table the 100 pages report of Ashok Khemka who exposed the issue.
Though Haryana Janhit Congress (Bl) has only one MlA in the house yet it will take up the issues of delay in availability of free textbooks in government schools, water and power shortage, favoritism in jobs, regional bias in development and fiscal mis-management of Hooda government in the house, said HJC superemo Kuldeep Bishnoi.
Hooda government is likely to bring five legislation during the session, including the one regularizing hundreds of illegal colonies in the state, and another on encouraging eco-friendly colonies in various upscale suburban areas, disbanding of all Improvement Trusts in the state and merging them with municipal corporations, more power to civic bodies and the rehabilitation of Sikh and other Punjabi farmers who were uprooted after their lease expired.
