Teach swollen-headed BJP a lesson: Hooda

State,

• Central govts blind to plight of people
• All sections of people undergoing hardships
• BJP cares only for the rich and private sector
• Second phase of Jankranti Yatra underway

Panipat (PTI): Former Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda on Sunday launched a scathing attack on the BJP governments in the state and at the Centre alleging they were insensitive to the plight of various sections including the farmers.

Hooda started the second leg of his 'Jankranti Yatra' from Samalkha in this district.

Addressing a public gathering at New Anaj Mandi in Samalkha, he said various sections of the society including farmers, traders, employees, labourers and youth were fed up with BJP government's "misrule.

"For the last four years, I tried to take the voice of the people to the government but nothing moved this regime, which is insensitive to the plight of various sections.

The BJP in Haryana had made 154 promises to the people during the last Assembly elections but nearly four years later, this government has not fulfilled even one.

The government has only shown an amazing ability to lie and mislead the people of the state," he alleged.

Hooda said the second phase of his Jankranti Yatra was aimed at ensuring not just a change in the government but also a change in the quality of governance.

"The time has come for the 2.5 crore people of Haryana to join the fight against this anti-people government," Hooda, who addressed the gathering atop a bus modified to look like a 'Rath' (chariot), said.

"The farmer is being robbed of his produce. Whether it is paddy, mustard, cotton, millet, poplar, onion, tomatoes or potatoes, the peasants are forced to sell their produce at throwaway prices.
