Former Haryana Chief Minister and Leader of Opposition in the Assembly Bhupinder Singh Hooda has promised a railway connection and a new university for Mewat when his party, the Congress, comes to power in the state.

Hooda was In Nuh on Sunday to address party workers and thank them for the work they put in to ensure the Congress performed at par with the BJP during the Lok Sabha elections.

Hitting out at the BJP, he said its "misdeeds" had been exposed. “Now the BJP has accepted the failure of its schemes. Therefore, the government is taking a U-turn from all its plans, seeing (likely) defeat in the Assembly. 

 

"In 10 years, this government has created such a mess that it is impossible to cover it in three months (when the Assembly elections take place). BJP has now lost the right to repent, and the public is now going to punish it by ousting it from power,” he stated.

The former Chief Minister was accompanied by Haryana Congress President Chaudhary Udaibhan and Congress Lok Sabha candidate from Gurugram Raj Babbar. 

The wheels of development will be set in motion again when Congress government is formed in the state, Hooda added, announcing that “Elderly people will be given ₹6,000 pension and employees will be given the benefit of the Old Pension Scheme."

 To provide relief from inflation 300 units of free electricity and LPG cylinder for Rs 500 would be offered. "To curb unemployment, two lakh vacant posts will be filled and employment will be generated by creating an environment of investment in the state again,” he said.  

 

People will get relief from medical bills as the Congress will provide free treatment of up to Rs 25 lakh, he said.

 

Hooda thanked the people of Mewat for voting for the Congress in large numbers in the Lok Sabha elections and expressed hope that Congress will get more support in the forthcoming assembly elections.

In his address, Udaibhan said the Congress had worked hard for the development of Mewat earlier and would ensure it progressed in future. “Congress built a medical college here in the name of Hasan Khan Mewati but today BJP is not even providing full staff in it,  with 60 per cent posts lying vacant,” he said. 

 

Listing the party's past achievements, Udaibhan said IMT was built in the area, Kotla lake was renovated, mini secretariat and judicial complex were built when the Congress was in power. “To overcome water shortage, Rs 485 crore were spent under the rainwell drinking water project. All works like roads, schools and ITI were implemented by the Congress,” he said.

The BJP, Udaibhan alleged, was only engaged in creating division among the people, instead of doing any development work. “The BJP creates discrimination and division among people in the name of caste and religion, with a narrow mindset. The strength of Congress is unity and brotherhood.” 

 

He asked people to watch out in case the BJP attempted to create trouble in the area.

 

Speaking on the occasion, Raj Babbar also thanked the people of Mewat for their votes and support in the Lok Sabha elections.

 

The Lok Sabha results clearly indicated that the Congress government is going to be formed in Haryana. If that happens, "development, brotherhood and unity of all communities will be strengthened in the state,” he stated.

 

The conference was organised by Congress Deputy Leader in the Assembly, MLA Aftab Ahmed, Maman Khan, Mohammed Ilyas and former MLAs Shahida, Lalit Nagar and Mohammed Israel. 

 

Senior leader Mehtab Ahmed was also present.
