‘ Will work to make BSP chief next PM’
Gohana, Oct. 7: Indian National Lok Dal ( INLD) president Om Prakash Chautala on Sunday said his party will work towards bringing the Opposition parties together to make Bahujan Samaj Party ( BSP) supremo Mayawati the next prime minister after the 2019 Lok Sabha polls.
Out on a two- week parole, the former Haryana chief minister was addressing a rally organised here to mark the 105th birth anniversary of senior INLD leader and his father Devi Lal. Om Prakash Chautala is serving a 10- year jail term in a teachers’ recruitment scam. “We will work towards uniting the Opposition so that Mayawati becomes the next Prime Minister,” he said.
Om Prakash Chautala said that Mr Lal had a dream that the countrymen should have enough food, shelter, good education and access to affordable health. “Today, he is not amongst us but we have to follow his ideals and work towards realising his dreams,” he said.
The INLD president’s son and senior party leader Abhay Singh Chautala also addressed the rally. He urged the people to help the INLD- BSP alliance to come to power in Haryana with an overwhelming majority in next year’s assembly elections. “Repeat 1987 ( when the INLD swept the state polls) by strengthening the hands of the INLDBSP combine so that ( Om Prakash) Chautala once again becomes the chief minister,” he said.
Abhay Singh Chautala promised that if the INLD- BSP comes to power, it will waive the loans of farmers and weaker sections. — PTI
