Hisar, October 17:
Former Chief Minister and Leader of the Opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda has reacted to the completion of one year of the BJP government’s third term in Haryana. He said, “The list of the government’s failures in one year is so long that instead of celebrating, it should introspect.”
Hooda said Haryana farmers are forced to wander from pillar to post in the markets because government agencies are refusing to purchase paddy, citing moisture and black grains as excuses. He explained that farmers’ crops are being sold at prices ₹400-₹500 per quintal below the MSP, causing farmers to face financial crisis.
“During the elections, the BJP promised to pay ₹3100 per quintal for paddy and purchase all crops at MSP, but today the reality is the opposite. The government is unable to provide farmers with MSP, fertilizers, or timely compensation,” he said.
Referring to his visit to the mandis, Hooda said chaos, open loot, and corruption are rampant in the mandis. “Farmers are facing severe difficulties in obtaining gate passes, space, and payment. No compensation has yet been provided for the crop losses caused by heavy rains last year and this year,” he added.
The Leader of the Opposition also raised serious questions about the law and order situation in the state. He said crime is rapidly increasing and criminals are unbridled, while the police force, which is responsible for public safety, feels helpless and hopeless. “Policemen are committing suicide, which reflects the insensitivity of the government and administration,” he pointed out.
Hooda said in a situation where farmers, youth, employees, and businessmen are all suffering, and unemployment and corruption are rampant, celebrating the BJP government is a joke on the public. He said the claims of a double-engine government have also proven to be completely hollow—Haryana has neither hot a major project from the central government, nor has the state government been able to implement any major development work,” he stated.
Before speaking to reporters, Hooda visited the residence of the late Mr. Jaswant Singh in Hisar today, where he paid tribute to his wife and sister, the late Mrs. Sushila Devi, and expressed his condolences to the family.
Following this, Hooda participated in an important joining ceremony. During this ceremony, Pradeep Saini, district patron of the All India Saini Samaj Seva Mandal and a senior BJP leader, joined the Congress party, expressing full confidence in Bhupinder Singh Hooda’s leadership.
