Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda on Monday attacked Modi Government, saying though BJP promised good days before polls, steps taken by the Centre in the past one month have "burdened" people with price rise and indicate that future is far from bright.
"The BJP Government, which has taken many anti-people decisions during the past over a month of coming to power, has shown that the future is far from being bright," the Congress leader said while addressing a party rally at ladwa in Kurukshetra district.
"The BJP sold dreams of 'ache din' to people. During the elections, an atmosphere was created and people were made to vote for an individual and not for any policies or programmes of BJP. An impression was given that the individual (Modi) has some magic wand which will solve all problems facing this country," Hooda said.
He said the steps which the BJP-led government has taken during the past over a month has "exposed" its "hollow claims" of good days. "Its policies, including increase in train fare, fuel and sugar price hikes, have started burdening the people. Besides, the price of cooking gas is all set to increase. Instead of bringing 'ache din' for the people, BJP has brought 'mehnge din' (days of price rise)," he said. Hooda said people were made to expect that once Modi became the PM, diesel will be sold for Rs 40 per litre, milk for Rs 20 per litre and prices of other consumable items will also be slashed.
