lashing out at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda on Sunday said that people have seen the real face of BJP and are repenting their decision of electing the party as the BJP could never be a pro-poor and pro-farmer party.
Hooda was addressing a ‘Sankalp Rally’ at Mahendergarh on Sunday. While referring to the outcome of the previous lok Sabha elections, he said that though the results in the country have not been as per the expectations of the Congress, but it is a matter of fact that people did not vote for the policies of BJP. An atmosphere was created in the country in favour of a particular individual that he has a magic wand and all the problems of the people would vanish immediately, Hooda said.
Criticising the BJP for increasing inflation in the country, Hooda said that though the BJP has just completed its tenure of two months, its policies has already led to increase in the prices of various essential commodities. He said that the Central Government has increased the prices of diesel by 50 paise per month and railway fares and sugar prices have also been hiked considerably. Now, the Central Government is planning to increase the price of lPG cylinder by Rs10 per cylinder per month, added Hooda.
later, while launching a scathing attack on the previous INlD-BJP Government in the state, Hooda asked the people to tell him whether any single step was taken in the interest of people during INlD tenure.Speaking at the rally, the Chief Minister also announced a slew of incentives for the people of Mahendergarh including setting up of an industrial model township in village Khudana.
Hooda also announced a sum of Rs10 crore from Haryana Rural Development Fund for the development of villages of Mahendergarh Assembly Constituency and Rs5 crore for the development of Mahendergarh Town. He also announced to give a sum of Rs5 lakh each for all gaushalas in the area and said that those schools which fulfill the prescribed norms would be upgraded. Besides, veterinary hospital, ITI and polytechnic institute would be opened as per the requirement of the area.
His other announcements included sub-depot of Haryana Roadways and a workshop for the repair of electricity transformers. He also reiterated his commitment to bring the Bhakra water to this region.
