CHANDIGARH: : Former chief minister and leader of opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda said on Sunday that the Congress has started the
mission
to completely wipe out the BJP from the state, after reducing the BJP to half in Lok Sabha elections. He said not a single leader and worker of Congress will sit at home until this mission is completed, and public outreach and struggle on people’s issues is our only agenda for the next 3 months.
Hooda was interacting with party workers at the Workers Meeting in Narnaul.
Thousands of workers were present along with
Haryana Congress
president Udaibhan, Lok Sabha candidate Rao Dan Singh and all the senior leaders of the party. The overwhelming numbers and enthusiasm of the workers was worth seeing amidst the scorching heat.
The workers announced in one voice that whatever was left incomplete in the Lok Sabha elections will be completed in the Assembly elections, and this time Congress will win all the 9 seats of Bhiwani-Mahendragarh Lok Sabha.
Hooda said for 10 years BJP has ignored the Ahirwal region. “BJP has ignored the demands of the area on every issue, from development to water. Despite BJP government in the country and the state, and the decision of the Supreme Court, BJP did not take a single step forward to bring SYL water,” he said.
“Similarly, Hansi-Butana canal was also ignored. During the Congress tenure, the Hansi-Butana canal was constructed to bring water to the state. But when the matter went to court, the BJP did not even defend it,” he added.
The former chief minister said the BJP has turned Haryana from number one in development, into a crime state. “Miscreants have become so fearless that they demand ransom from whoever they want, and shoot anyone they want. Incidents like theft, loot, robbery, ransom, murder and rape have become a part of the daily routine of the people. That is why the public wants to end this reign of fear,” he stated.
“This time all communities have decided to bring a Congress government in the state. Now Congress workers have to go to the people and tell them what work will be done when the party forms the government,” he said.
Hooda announced that when the Congress government is formed, every elderly person will be given a pension of Rs 6000. “Employees will get the benefit of the Old pension scheme. To give relief to the public from inflation, 300 units of free electricity and gas cylinders will be given for Rs 500. BJP has pushed the youth of the state into the darkness of unemployment and recruitment scams. To get them back on their feet, permanent recruitments will be done on more than 2 lakh vacant posts,” he promised.
He added that clean and transparent recruitments will be done on the basis of merit, as per qualification by eliminating paper leak and recruitment mafia. “In Haryana too, a health insurance scheme of Rs 25 lakh will be implemented on the lines of the Congress government of Rajasthan,” he added.
He said that the welfare schemes of Congress which were stopped by BJP, will be restarted and poor, SC and OBC families will be given free plots of 100 square yards and two room houses on it. “To give full benefit of reservation to the backward class, the limit of creamy layer will be increased from 8 to 10 lakh. BJP had reduced the limit from 8 lakh to 6 lakh, due to which the reservation of OBC class almost ended,” he pointed out.
