Senior Congress leader and the Leader of Opposition in Haryana Assembly Bhupinder Singh Hooda on Sunday said that the party leaders have been with the public throughout thanks to programmes like “Vipaksh Aapke Samaksh”, “Bharat Jodo Yatra”, the “Haath se Haath Jodo” campaign and “Jan Milan”.
Congress Party has, so far, organized “Vipaksh Aapke Samaksh” programmes in seven Lok Sabha constituencies of the State. The eighth programme is scheduled to be held in Bhiwani on July 9 and preparations for the same are on, he added.
Hooda said that during the yatra, the Congress party is exposing the truth of both the parties-Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Jannayak Janata Party (JJP) to the public. That is why the people have made up their mind to uproot this alliance from power and bring in a Congress government,” he asserted.
After participating in various social and religious programmes in Rohtak, Hooda alleged that the BJP-JJP government in Haryana is sitting on “a pile of failures” and that it does not have a single achievement to show in the last nine years. The BJP-JJP government is completely cut off from people and the ground reality. It has finally remembered the people now as elections are near,” Hooda said in a statement.
The former Chief Minister added that Congress leaders and workers have not been sitting at home since the 2019 (Lok Sabha and Assembly) elections and are constantly engaging with the people.
“Today, the farmers of the state are moving from pillar to post for minimum support price and compensation (for crop damage). In Mahendragarh district alone, 17,000 farmers are waiting for compensation for crop loss in the last season,” he said.
“There was severe loss in the millet and cotton crops of the farmers. The same situation prevails in the whole of Haryana. Lakhs of farmers are deprived of compensation,” he said.
