Hooda slams Khattar government over Gurgaon fiasco, says Gurugram is Gurujam

Taking a dig at the Haryana's Manohar Lal Khattar government, the former Chief Minister of Haryana Bhupinder Singh Hooda on Sunday termed the state government as a non-performer.

The senior Congress leader said that the latest example of state government's lame duck administration was Gurugram where the choked drains and potholed roads earned a shame for the whole state.

"This is a non-performing government and it believes in cutting the ribbons and changing the names of cities. Had they been serious the Gurgaon drains may not have choked and resulted in a traffic jam. Khattar changed the name to Gurugram which now appears to be Gurujam. The government was eyeing investment and had called the state as 'happening Haryana' , unfortunately it has become a mishappening Haryana," said Hooda.

HOODA SLAMS BJP GOVERNMENT

Slamming the BJP government, Hooda said his  government had planned Dwaraka Expressway to join the National Highway to reduce the traffic jams on Gurgaon roads. The construction work of this 18 km long road was nearing completion when BJP government was formed.

"The lackadaisical attitude of the state government can be gauged from the fact that it failed to complete the remaining 10 percent work on this road. Had the road been completed the traffic jam may not have taken place. The state government failed to de-silt the Nazafgarh and Badshahpur drains. These drains were never clogged in our regime as we used to clear the drains before the rainy season," Bhupinder Singh Hooda said.

Launching a direct attack on Haryana's BJP government, the Congress leader said that the Khattar government lacks internal co-ordination which has made it a government of 'Ghaal-Mel' (messed up).

HARYANA GOVT IS PRO-ELITE

The Congress leader said that the present Haryana government is hell bent on pleasing the elite and has betrayed state's common people who voted it on the basis of the promises it made during the elections.

"This government is busy registering false cases against opponents. It has no new development plan and is busy renaming the old plans to cheat the people. The poor farmers are being compelled to sell their crops at throwaway prices. Rather helping them the government has compelled them to pay the crop insurance premium. The state government has roped in private agencies which will never compensate the farmers. They are just collecting insurance premium. The whole government should step down as it has failed to perform," added Hooda.

URGED TO INCREASE JOBS

Hooda also criticised the state government for its plan to rejuvenate Saraswati river. He urged the state government to increase the monthly pension amount of senior citizens besides jobs to the unemployed youths on the eve of golden jubilee of statehood .

Hooda parried questions on his former cabinet colleague Captain Ajay Singh Yadav who had accused him of spoiling the party in the state.

"I do not comment on individuals. Nobody took him seriously as he keeps on changing his statements," Hooda said.
