The Congress party will bring a no-confidence motion against the BJP government during the winter session of the Haryana Vidhan Sabha. The decision was taken at a meeting of the Congress Legislative Party held on Tuesday. The meeting was chaired by former Chief Minister and Leader of the Opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda and was also attended by State Congress President Rao Narendra Singh.
The meeting discussed in detail the issues that the Congress will raise during the Assembly session, including adjournment motions, calling attention motions and zero-hour submissions. The party has decided to bring adjournment motions on issues such as the lack of and dilapidated condition of sports facilities and equipment in sports complexes, fraudulent voters, and the alleged misuse of government machinery to form the government.
Additionally, issues such as saving the Aravalli range, compensation for waterlogging, rising pollution levels, the paddy scam, MNREGA, increasing drug abuse, corruption, education and health will be raised through calling attention and short-duration discussion motions. The Congress will also demand a discussion on statements made by BJP MLAs and MPs that allegedly spread caste-based hatred. Discussions will also be sought on the Assembly complex, the SYL canal, law and order, and the status of Chandigarh.
Questions will also be raised in the Assembly regarding rising unemployment and the Haryana Public Service Commission (HPSC) giving preference to outsiders in Haryana government jobs.
During the meeting, Hooda clarified that the BJP formed the government in Haryana by “stealing votes.” “To achieve this, they resorted to tactics such as offering illegal inducements before the elections and creating multiple votes for a single person. Therefore, a no-confidence motion will be brought against the government and its misdeeds will be exposed in the House,” he said.
The legislative party meeting welcomed the court’s decision to reject the charge sheet in the National Herald case. A condolence resolution was passed on the demise of senior Congress leader and former Union Minister Shivraj Patil and former MLA Sahib Singh Saini, and a two-minute silence was observed to pay tribute to them.
After the meeting of the Congress Legislative Party, while addressing journalists, Haryana Congress President Rao Narendra Singh said that on Wednesday the party will hold district-level protests against the renaming of the MGNREGA scheme.
