DW BUREAU / chandigarh Former Chief Minister and Leader of Opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda has stated that the ruling BJP-JJP government has no face to seek votes from the people of Adampur as it has no policy, no intention to do any work, nor a leader and or any work to show for Adampur. Hooda, who was campaigning for Congress candidate Jai Prakash in the Adampur bye-election, launched an all-out attack on the ruling BJP government and said the ruling BJP-JJP government had failed on all fronts as people from all sections have been hit hard by the policies of the government. He addressed public meetings in Chuli Bagdiyan, Chuli Kalan, Chuli Khurd, Daroli, Moda Kheda, Ghusal, Telanwali, Bitchwali and Bagla villages and sought votes from the people. Hooda, moved by the strong support of people from the area, claimed that the time had come for the BJP government to bid farewell to Haryana. "The first step is going to be taken by the people of Adampur. For the last 8 years, the BJP worked to push back the entire Haryana including Adampur. Even today, on the basis of air promises and claims, this party wants to take the vote of the people," he said. "The question is that if the BJP government wanted to develop Adampur, then who had stopped it for 8 years? During the entire tenure, the BJP completely ignored Adampur. The representative who became MLA from here also never raised the voice of Adampur in the assembly. Congress candidate Jayaprakash is known for raising his voice in a powerful manner in the House. Jaiprakash will fulfill his responsibility as the representative of Adampur. That is why the people of Adampur have made up their mind to win the Congress in the elections," Hooda said. He said that special emphasis would be laid on the development of Adampur when the Congress government is formed in Haryana. "Schools that were closed all over Haryana, including Adampur, will be restarted. Teachers will be recruited on 38,000 posts lying vacant in all schools. Unemployment will be removed by making sure recruitment on 1.82 lakh posts lying vacant in the state," he said. "Along with this, the pension of the elderly deducted by the BJP across the state will be restored and returned with interest. Not only this, the Congress government will give Rs 6000 to every elderly person, every elderly couple would Rs 12,000 rupees per month. The scheme of allotment of 100 yard plots, which was stopped by the BJP, will be revived. The scheme of highest stipend for poor, SC, BC children in the country will also be started again. Along with this, up to 300 units of free electricity will be given to every family," Hooda promised. (editor@dailyworld.in)
