INLD reneged on promises, says Hooda Kharkhoda (Sonepat), February 14 Reacting to the allegations of the HVP and the INLD that the state Congress is facing a crisis to project a candidate as the next Chief Minister of the state, he said Congress president Sonia Gandhi would select the candidate to be projected as the Chief Minister. He said the INLD had failed to provide free water and electricity to farmers as promised by the party. Also the farmers had to move from pillar to post to get area because of the black market. He said unemployment had increased manifold as the government had failed to provide jobs. If the Congress was voted to power, it would treat every district equally and allot development funds in the same proportion, he claimed. Earlier chaos prevailed during the rally when Mr Sukhbir Pharmani, considered to be a strong contender for the Congress ticket form Sonepat district reached the stage.

Youth Congress recommends candidates Hisar, February 14 He alleged that the INLD and the BJP were two faces of the same coin. He said the BJP president, Mr Venkaiah Naidu, and two senior ministers of the NDA government, Mr Raj Nath Singh and Mr Sahib Singh Verma, had made serious allegations against the Chief Minister, Mr Om Prakash Chautala, regarding corruption in the recent Gohana rally. They had alleged that Mr Chautala had made crores through wrong means during the past four years. If the allegations were true the NDA government should have taken action against Mr Chautala. He said Mr Chautala on the other hand had alleged that the NDA government had not provided any development funds to Haryana during the past four years. If it was true why had five INLD MPs supported the NDA government at the centre for the past four years. He said though Mr Chautala was criticising the NDA government for misusing government funds on advertisements listing its achievements, his own government had misused Rs 300 crore on hoardings for the same purpose during the past four years, he alleged. |
