Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda has launched a scathing attack on opposition party, Indian National lok Dal (INlD), for having neglected the interests of the people of Radaur, and letting them down on development.
While addressing ‘Radaur Vikas Rally’ held at Radaur in Yamunanagar, Hooda pointed out that INlD chief Om Prakash Chautala remained Chief Minister for six long years and asked people in the gathering to stand up and list any single decision the Chautala Government had taken in the interest of the farmers and poor people. Against this, the present state government has implemented several schemes for all sections of the society to ensure their growth and well being, said Hooda.
Backing his claim with official figures, Hooda said that during the six-year tenure of the INlD-BJP Government from 1999 to 2005, only a sum of `58.26 crore was spent in Radaur Assembly constituency whereas the present state government has spent `412.98 crore so far on various development works.
Hooda also announced a slew of incentives for Radaur. This included the status of tehsil to Radaur; `50 crore for the repair of roads; `10 crore each for all the four assembly constituencies in Yamunanagar district, namely Radaur, Yamunanagar, Jagadhari and Sadhaura, from the Haryana Rural Development Fund (HRDF), `20 crore for the Municipal Corporation, Yamunanagar, and `2 crore for the development of Radaur town. Hooda also announced that a weight lifting academy would be set up in the Sports Stadium at Barsan. Besides, sport stadia would be constructed in the village where land would be made available by the village panchayat. PHCs, CHCs and schools would be upgraded provided these fulfilled the prescribed parameters. The banks of Yamuna would be further strengthened to avoid any flood-like situation in the district, he added.
