Former CM Hooda targets BJP, says claims have been exposed in just one month

Rohtak, November 9, 2024: Former Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda has said false claims of BJP have been exposed in just one month before the people of Haryana and the present attitude of the government is only a sign of things to come.

“The current government has done only two things so far, farmers do not get fertilizers and the government does not give MSP. The situation has become such that even 50 percent of the demand for fertilizers has not reached the districts. The fight for DAP has reached a point where it has to be distributed in police stations. At the same time, paddy crop is being sold for Rs 300-400 below than the MSP. Both these issues will be raised prominently by the Congress in the upcoming assembly session,”  Hooda said.

Answering questions of journalists at his residence in Rohtak, Hooda said the BJP has not been able to manage the fertilizer properly even in 10 years. “The Agriculture Minister is repeatedly saying that there is no shortage of fertilizers. If there is no shortage, then why are the farmers having to stand in line all night? Why is fertilizer being distributed inside police stations? Why are women having to leave their homes and fields to come to get fertilizer,” he questioned. 

In response to a question, Hooda said burning of stubble should not be held completely responsible for air pollution. “Farmers have a small role. Stubble management is a big challenge for small farmers. It is the duty of the government to buy them by fixing MSP like crops and make fertilizer, electricity or other products from it,” he said.

Hooda said defeated BJP leaders are commenting on Congress, and said these BJP leaders should stop worrying about Congress, and review the reasons for their defeat. Showing a viral video, he said that BJP has openly distributed money in the elections.

The former Chief Minister said Congress has formed a committee under the chairmanship of Karan Singh Dalal to know the reasons for the defeat, which will give its report soon. He said a meeting of the workers will be called constituency wise to boost their morale after the harvest time. “We have lost the election, but have not lost the battle. We will continue to fight for people’s issues in the state,” he noted.

On the question of the Leader of Opposition, Hooda said all the Congress MLAs have decided the names and given them to the high command. “I think the party high command can take a decision on this after the Maharashtra elections. It depends on the high command. Congress has 37 strong MLAs in the Assembly, who will raise their voices strongly regarding the problems of the state,” he said.
