Hooda Slams BJP: Calls For Change on Campaign's Last Day

On the final day of Haryana Assembly election campaigning, former CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda criticized the BJP, asserting Haryana's fall in per capita income and job creation under their governance. He condemned the BJP's policies as a betrayal to Dalits and emphasized Congress's commitment to merit-based job provision.

On the last day of campaigning for the Haryana Assembly polls, former Chief Minister and Congress leader Bhupinder Singh Hooda launched a scathing attack on the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). He accused them of failing to deliver any notable achievements over the past decade, alleging they merely boasted about the legacy of previous administrations.

Addressing a press conference, Hooda highlighted that in 2014, Haryana led in per capita income and job creation. He lamented that today, the state ranks highest in unemployment, with a deteriorating law and order situation causing a significant increase in crime. He urged voters to oust the current regime, criticizing the BJP's employment policies, particularly the Kaushal Rozgar Nigam scheme, as deceitful to Dalits and economically backward classes.

Hooda championed Congress's track record of merit-based job provision, claiming they halted contract-based employment, which the BJP has reintroduced. He pointed to Congress's transformative work in education infrastructure, contrasting this with the BJP's lack of accomplishments. As Haryana prepares for the October 5th polls, Hooda expressed confidence in a Congress victory with overwhelming support.
