Congress leader and former Chief Minister of Haryana Bhupinder Singh Hooda said that the BJP did not do a single development in Hisar during its 10-year tenure. He said the Congress would take up the collapse of civic services and law & order in the state as primary issues in the ensuing elections.
"BJP neither built any university here, nor any thermal plant, nor any big industry or project was established. Whereas during the Congress tenure, many development works were done here. Not only this, the already approved Hisar International Airport was also shifted out of here and the BJP government of the state remained a silent spectator," he said.
"Congress will take all these issues to the public during the mayoral elections. Along with this, the party will also highlight the poor condition of roads, sewerage, and cleanliness and the collapse of law and order among the public," he stated.
Addressing a press conference in Hisar, Hooda appealed for votes for the Congress candidates in the civic elections. He said it has been more than 100 days since the BJP has come to power for the third time, but till now it has not fulfilled its election promises.
“The promise of giving ₹2100 to women has also proved to be a hoax. Now what will the BJP say to seek votes in the civic elections? BJP deliberately delayed even the civic and panchayat elections because it does not believe in democracy,” he stated.
He said that during the Congress tenure, Haryana was the number one state in the country in terms of per capita income, per capita investment, and employment, but today Haryana has become number one in unemployment.
“During the entire tenure of BJP, neither any new railway line was laid, nor the metro was taken forward even by 1 inch, nor any big university, thermal plant, industry or project was established in the state. 90% of the highways built during this government were approved during the Congress tenure,” he added.
