Chandigarh:
Jannayak Janta Party National President Dr Ajay Singh Chautala sharply criticized both the BJP and Congress, stating that Congress was responsible for enabling the formation of the BJP government in Haryana. Addressing a massive crowd at JJP’s 8th Foundation Day rally in Julana, he said that Congress leaders themselves colluded with the BJP, sinking their own party, and now the BJP is busy exploiting the state.
Dr. Chautala said Haryana today is witnessing a “jungle raj” where incidents of theft, robbery, loot, and murder have become routine. He expressed concern that even girls are no longer safe in educational institutions. Questioning the government’s claims, he said, “If this is the state of law and order, who will guarantee the safety of Haryana’s people ?”
Ajay Singh Chautala accused the BJP government of being anti-farmer, saying that farmers are not even recovering the cost of cultivation. He highlighted that thousands of acres remain waterlogged without relief, and the government has failed to even drain the water in many regions. He alleged a massive rice procurement scam worth thousands of crores in which farmers were cheated through low purchase prices.
He further said that despite spending crores on the recent visit of the Prime Minister to Haryana, “the Prime Minister did not announce even a single rupee for the state’s development.”
Former Deputy Chief Minister Dushyant Chautala, addressing the vast gathering, said that aligning with the BJP was necessary in 2019 for JJP’s survival and for ensuring development in the state. He recalled that when JJP was in power, the doors of Chandigarh were open for the common man 24×7, but today people are being pushed away instead of being heard.
He pointed to stagnation in fields and the piling up of cotton, rice, and millet trolleys in mandis as signs of administrative collapse.
He said that during the coalition era, old-age pension increased every year, but after JJP left the government, not even a single rupee has been added—rather, thousands of elderly citizens have been removed from the scheme. Similarly, the Lado Lakshmi Yojana was misused as an election gimmick, later burdened with unnecessary conditions to exclude beneficiaries.
He accused the BJP of making ration cards in bulk before elections and then canceling lakhs of BPL cards afterward.
Dushyant Chautala further slammed the government, saying mismanagement in sports is causing the deaths of players, while youth seeking jobs abroad are also losing their lives. He said the government is planning to employ PhD holders as peons, and questioned why—despite Haryana bringing 40% of India’s international medals—events like the Commonwealth Games are being hosted in Gujarat.
He alleged that although Haryana leads in industrialization, maximum subsidies are being offered to Gujarat.
He remarked, “The Chief Minister may belong to Haryana, but the remote control is in Gujarat.”
He warned that BJP is again trying to repeat the agenda that shattered social harmony in 2016. Referring to recent controversial statements by BJP MPs and MLAs comparing Haryana’s people to animals, he said the ruling party wants to create social unrest.
Criticizing the police administration, he said the DGP sees Thars and Bullets as a threat, but fails to recognize the rising number of murders in the state. He accused the government of intentionally assigning teachers to BLO duties with the hidden motive of weakening government schools, sarcastically saying, “Why not convert the School Education Department into the Election Commission then?”
State President Brij Sharma said people from every section of society are unhappy with the present government, and urged every JJP worker to reach every household and village to ensure victory in the next elections.
Youth President Digvijay Singh Chautala attacked the government on unemployment, saying that while the CM promises 50 lakh jobs by 2047, the reality is that even temporary jobs are scarce today.
Senior leaders paid tributes to Jan Nayak Chaudhary Devi Lal and remembered former Chief Minister Om Prakash Chautala. When former MLA Naina Chautala arrived on stage, thousands of women stood up to thank her for securing reservations for women in Panchayats and for ration depots.
Senior JJP leader Dr. K.C. Bangad urged workers to take a pledge from this historic Julana rally to form a JJP government in 2029, and work tirelessly toward achieving that goal.
Prominent leaders including Rajendra Litani, Phoolwati, former MLA Amarjeet Dhanda, Rajdeep Phogat, Ramesh Khatak, Mohsin Chaudhary, Dinesh Dagar (Delhi), Bachchan Singh Gurjar (Gujarat), Sandeep Nyauli (Punjab), Mahendra Chaudhary (UP), along with district and block presidents, office bearers, and thousands of workers were present.
