‘BJP rule in Haryana only talk, no work’
CHANDIGARH: The Opposition on Thursday pooh-poohed the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) twoand-half year rule in Haryana and said it was marked with “sheer talks and no work’’. This was during the debate on the governor’s address in the ongoing budget session.
Speaking on the occasion, Congress’ Uday Bhan alleged that the Manohar Lal Khattar government has not done anything for contractual employees, especially sanitation workers, and has rather been only lecturing on the issue. “Bhashan dene se ya jayanti manane se kuchh nahi hoga
(Nothing will happen by merely lecturing or observing golden jubilee of the state,’’ he said.
He also claimed that power supply is poor across Haryana and that not even a single village has become open defecation free in the state, despite the government’s tall claim. INLD legislator, Ranbir Gangwa, claimed that, on an average, Haryana witnesses “eight murders everyday” and that the law and order situation has gone haywire. He added that the poor, dalit and women are the worst hit by it.
His remarks invited sharp reactions from agriculture minister OP Dhankar and labour minister that tion Gangwa100 converteddalit Gangwa’sNayab appear familiesalso their Saini.to claimedsource religion.be in They “dubious”.Hisarof that informa- arguedHowever,have over finance parliamentaryRam minister Bilas Captain Sharmaaffairs Abhimanyu minister, and Independent termed MLAit to be Jai untrue. Parkash argued that even though eight months ago Manohar Lal Khattar made 17 announcements, including constructing a mini-secretariat, a stadium and a rest house in his constituency, Kalayat, work has yet not started in any of them. Earlier, BJP MLAs Subhash Barala, Shyam Singh Rana and Mahipal Dhanda responded sharply to the Opposition’s remarks against the government.
Dhanda said it was wrong to say that the BJP government was inexperienced. “Previous governments had only dragged the state backward. But the BJP government, with its positive vision, has ensured all-round development,” he said.
He also hailed the teachers’ transfer policy recently brought by the government and alleged that under previous governments, “transfers used to be a scam”. However, Congress legislature party leader, Kiran Choudhry, along with Geeta Bhukkal, Anand Singh Dangi, Jagbir Malik and others, countered him.
