Chandigarh, October 8: Former Chief Minister and Leader of the Opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda in a conversation with reporters, spoke about the current state government’s failures, farmers’ problems, law and order, and the Congress’s organizational strategy. He sharply criticized the government on several issues, giving it a zero rating in the public interest.
Key Points:
- Government Failure: Hooda described the current government as a complete failure in its one-year tenure. He said the government had neither taken any concrete steps for farmers nor done anything for the welfare of the poor. Describing law and order as completely poor, he said the government had not taken any public welfare decisions and development work had stalled.
- Farmers’ Plight: Hooda stated that he is regularly visiting the state’s mandis, where farmers’ grain is spoiling. There are not even tarpaulins in the mandis, causing huge losses to farmers. He demanded that the Prime Minister provide compensation and a special package for the farmers’ losses.
- BJP Factionalism: Targeting the BJP, Hooda said the BJP should address its own factionalism, before talking about the Congress. He called for strengthening the Congress organization and stated that district-level pradhans have been appointed, and that appointments will soon be made at the block level as well.
- Comment on the Chief Minister’s Japan Visit: Hooda, on Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini’s Japan visit, said Haryana saw the highest investment during his government (until 2014). The BJP has ruined investment and development.
- Statement on opponents: Hooda said the INLD-JJP cannot even save their deposits, and they continue to speak against the Congress at the behest of the BJP, without any basis.
- Comment on the Prime Minister’s visit: Regarding Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Haryana on October 17, Hooda said the central government did not provide any major projects to Haryana. Haryana did not receive any metro, rail, or other major projects under the BJP government.
- Strengthening the Congress organization: Hooda said district, block, division, and booth level presidents will soon be appointed to strengthen the Congress organization.
- Zero marks for the Haryana government: Assessing the government’s performance, Hooda said marks are given based on performance, and this government has not done any work in many areas such as farmers, women, employment, and security.
Bhupinder Singh Hooda clarified that the Congress’s priority is to protect the interests of farmers, the poor, and the people of the state.
