Hooda booed at PM rally, calls it unethical
Kaithal, August 19 Hooda was booed by BJP supporters who made up the crowd at Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s rally after he laid the foundation stone of a four-laning road project between Kaithal and Rajasthan. He was not allowed to speak at the function organised by the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI). Hooda, accompanied by PWD Minister Randeep Singh Surjewala, later told the media that he was invited and agreed to share the stage since it was a government function. “It turned out to be a political rally and the way the crowd (BJP supporters) behaved in the presence of the Prime Minister was unethical. What if the same thing happens to a BJP leader at the August 24 rally (Congress’ function in Panipat)? I have respect for the institution of the Prime Minister, but the way the crowd behaved is condemnable,” Hooda said, adding that he did not want to comment on the content of Modi’s “political speech”. Hooda termed his hooting down a “conspiracy of a few” and claimed that the “violation of ethics” was not in democracy’s interest. The Chief Minister said the four-laning of the project was initiated during the UPA Government’s rule and the concessionaire for the project was appointed on May 6. He assured the state government’s help in early completion of the project. “I had put forth many demands, but the PM did not mention one in his speech. We had a lot of expectations from him since this was his first visit to the state (after becoming the Prime Minister),” he said. Hooda said he had urged the Prime Minister to convert some highways into four-lanes. These included 95-km Ambala-Kaithal stretch of NH-152, 68-km stretch on the NH-352 from Jind-Narwana to Punjab border, and 104-km Yamunanagar-Panchkula stretch on the NH-344. He also drew Modi’s attention towards the hindrances being caused in the traffic flow because of the slow pace of the Panipat-Jalandhar road project. “I requested the Prime Minister to do away with the policy of charging toll on national highways because high toll at frequent intervals cause inconvenience to commuters and suggested that the government should have a uniform rate of toll, which should be charged at the time of purchase of vehicle or on its registration,” he said. The Chief Minister also urged the Central Government to get the Rail Coach Factory, which has already been sanctioned for Haryana be speedily set up and work on rail lines already sanctioned for Haryana be started at the earliest possible. He assured State’s Government help for such projects. On Modi’s allegation about newly carpeted roads being washed away, Hooda said: “He might have been referring to another state. Since he was the Gujarat CM, he could have been talking from personal experience. This could have been true in Gujarat’s case.” Bishnoi stays away
Kaithal: The absence of HJC chief Kuldeep Bishnoi from PM Narendra Modi’s rally has worsened the already not-so-well relationship between both parties. After the rally, BJP leaders said by boycotting the function, Bishnoi has not only violated alliance principles, but has also insulted the country’s government as it was a government function and not a BJP’s political rally. “Our leaders had invited him. We had kept a chair vacant for him during the function. At least, he should have clarified whether he was coming,” said BJP state president Ram Bilas Sharma.

Modi’s Kaithal speech sets the tone for BJP campaign
Chandigarh, August 19 Modi was in charge of Haryana affairs of the BJP before his elevation as the Gujarat Chief Minister and he did not leave the opportunity to tell the people of the state that he was very familiar with all the galis and mohallas (streets and colonies) of Haryana. “I know Haryana as much as Gujarat,” he said, meaning that he was aware of the problems and issues concerning the state. Though Modi did not directly refer to the overwhelming victory of his party in the 2014 parliamentary elections when the BJP won seven of 10 seats, he told the people he would not betray the confidence they had in him. “I will return the love you have showered upon me with interest in terms of development for the state”. The Prime Minister made it apparently clear that the BJP considered the Congress as its main rival in the forthcoming Assembly elections. Modi raised all those issues that the Congress is going to the polls with. Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda’s is hoping to get a favourable response on the issue of development. Modi hit out at this by saying that “there is a lot of development along the national highway 1, but the areas in the interiors of the state are lacking in terms of development,” hinting at the charges of “partisan development” against the Hooda government. The state government has been taking credit for getting roads, railway lines and airports for the state. But Modi carefully chose words to counter it. He said: “There are several unfinished and abandoned projects of the UPA Government in Haryana. I promise I would ensure that these are completed and everyone moves on the path of development”. He raised the issue of corruption, difficulties being faced by farmers, shortage of water, need for reforms in animal husbandry, employment generation and jobs. In short, Modi gave a clear indication on the line the BJP would take to seek votes against the Hooda Government. His speech revealed that the BJP would raise the issue of “partisan development”, favouritism in jobs, Haryana Government being unable to get central projects despite the UPA being in power at the
Centre, inadequate remunerations for crops. Raising the issue of “Mera
kaya, Mujhe Kya” in the presence of Hooda was aimed at embarrassing the Chief Minister on the issue of corruption. Some Congress leaders are facing charges of demanding money for facilitating change of land use
(CLUs) permission. The BJP intends to make this into a big election
issues. Modi announced the Prime Minister Gramin Sinchai Yojana that will ensure water for irrigation, knowing that a shortage of water is a major issue in the state. And finally by saying that Haryana must find its place among the top states of the country, Modi was obviously targeting Hooda’s “No 1 Haryana” catch line that is used to highlight achievements of the Haryana Government.

Newcomer to queer the poll pitch for others
Sushil Manav Tribune News Service
He has been doing so with an eye on the elections and has been reaching out to the people on various occasions. On New Year Eve, he hosted a lunch in which nearly 50000 people from the constituency participated. In a samman samaroh, Babli sought the blessings from nearly 30,000 senior citizens of the constituency. He presented dhotis, kurtas, walking sticks and pugrees to men and suits, shawls and walking sticks to women.
His supporters claim that the BJP might field Babli and this development is bound to queer the pitch for the major players in the field, given his popularity among the electorate. Situated just two km from the Punjab border in the north-west of Haryana, Tohana is known as a land of canals since the Bhakra Main Line passes through the town. This constituency is represented in the Assembly by Agriculture Minister Paramvir Singh, who won this seat both in 2005 and 2009. Earlier, his father, Harpal Singh, represented this seat five times in 1967, 1968, 1972, 1982 and 199. The seat went outside this ruling family on five occasions – Karam Singh Dangra of Janata Party in 1977, Hanuman Singh Bishnoi of the Congress in a bypoll held in 1984, Comrade Harpal Singh of the CPM in 1987, Vinod Marya of the INLD in 1996 and Nishan Singh of the INLD in 2000. Being the pocket borough of Agriculture minister Paramvir Singh the city witnessed good development. A railway over bridge (RoB) worth Rs 19 crore has been built on Chandigarh road and a mini secretariat has been constructed at a cost of Rs 11 crore. A town park is being built on six acres at a cost of Rs 6 crore, a four lane bridge is being set up on Bhakra for Rs 8 crore and Tohana – Chandigarh and Tohana – Ratia road falling under Tohana stretch are being constructed at cost of Rs 2.5 crore and Rs 1.90 crore, respectively.
A sewerage treatment plant is being set up at a cost of Rs 10 crore and a polytechnic is being built for Rs 15 crore. A railway over bridge would be built on Jakhal – Dharsul road for Rs 25 crore and two bridges on Ghaggar would be built for Rs 6.5 crore and Rs 1.70 crore respectively. INLD leader Nishan Singh said, "Development is on paper only. Out of 32 posts of doctors in General Hospital, only four were filled in the past 10 years. The Municipal Council functioned without an EO for eight years. Drinking water supply and sewerage system of the town are in a bad shape. Agriculture Minister Paramvir Singh lives like an aristocrat and has no connect with the people” Segment scan This segment has 98 villages and two towns — Tohana and Jakhal — and is located 2 km from the Punjab border in the north-west of Haryana. It’s known as a land of canals since the Bhakra Main Line passes through the town. Main issues
A very poor drainage system and rainwater tends to stagnate on roads and streets for weeks, making life difficult for people. The sewerage system, too, is inadequate and often overflows. Law and order is alarming with a number of killings, kidnappings for ransom in the past few months. Legislatorspeak

Narnaul bypass construction a poll stunt: Oppn
Narnaul, August 19 Leaders of Opposition parties here have not only termed the development as a political stunt to woo the electorate in the run-up to the Assembly polls but also slammed the minister for not making any serious efforts in this direction during the past five years. The minister had opened the construction work of this 8-km-long bypass from Nangal Chaudhary T-point to Nang Tihari village yesterday and claimed that the work costing Rs 16.77 crore would be completed within a year. Local residents have been demanding the bypass for the past two decades to reduce the number of heavy vehicles which cause traffic jams in the city. Prof Roshan Lal, district chief of HJC, said that Rao Narender had sensed that the people’s mood was against him. Hence, he was leaving no stone unturned to tempt them prior to the Assembly poll. “Narender should make public the name of the company, its contractor, the design of the project and other technical information required to initiate the construction work of any development project if he wishes to get the bypass road constructed in the real sense,” he said. Rakesh Sharma, a local BJP leader, said the foundation stone of this project was laid by Chief Minister Bhupinder Hooda two years ago but no construction work was initiated after that. Rao Narender should clarify why he did not make any effort to get the bypass constructed in this period, he added. “Narender is misleading the people by making false claims. The fact is that the authorities are yet to complete many necessary formalities in this regard,” he said. Rao Bahadur Singh, district chief of the INLD, said it was nothing but a political drama. No development project at this stage could not protect Narender from a debacle in the Assembly polls, he said. Rao Narender could not be contacted despite repeated attempts. Road to victory?

Abhay dares Hooda to sue INLD for chargesheet
Tohana (Fatehabad), August 19 Abhay was reacting to Hooda’s statement wherein he threatened to sue the INLD if it did not apologise for defaming him in the 140-page chargesheet that accuses the CM and his family members of amassing wealth by corrupt practices in the past 10 years. “Our additional chargesheet with details of a number of benami properties owned by Hooda is ready and will soon be submitted to the Governor. We will be happy if Hooda files a defamatory suit against us in a court of law so we can expose him completely,” Abhay said. Hooda had said it was ridiculous that leaders against whom charges had been framed in the court of law for amassing disproportionate assets were levelling allegations against him. Earlier, launching INLD candidate Nishan Singh’s poll campaign by addressing a workers meeting at Tohana today, Abhay ripped into the Hooda government’s claims of Haryana being number one in the country. “If Haryana is number one in any sphere, it is in the field of corruption, rape, crime and in unemployment,” Abhay said. He said the past 10 years of the Hooda regime had witnessed a regional bias in development, favouritism in jobs, corruption in bureaucracy and a plethora of land scams. INLD state president Ashok Arora said senior party leaders Om Prakash Chautala and Ajay Singh had been jailed not for providing jobs, but for speaking against Hooda and Robert Vadra. “The key of the jails in which our leaders have been locked lies in your votes. The moment you elect Chautala the next CM, the locks keeping him in jail will break automatically,” Arora said. Sirsa MP Charanjit Singh Rori and INLD candidate and former MLA Nishan Singh also spoke on this occasion. |

Bishnoi meets Shah, tie-up may continue
Indications favouring the continuance of the BJP-HJC alliance, which was almost being written off in the wake of political grandstanding from both sides, now seem to be emerging. Sources say “positive results” can be expected within the a couple of days with the announcement of new parameters for the alliance. Though there is no official confirmation, things seem to have once again started moving in favour of the BJP-HJC alliance.
A top leader said today that the screening and selection process of the panels could start around the weekend or next week. Considering the immense competition on each seat with hopefuls lining up in the party office, sources say nominations for some of the difficult seats could be withheld to avoid confrontation and rift within the party. The BJP’s biggest challenge in the state is its state leadership, with different groups working at cross-roads eying the post of Chief Minister and the maximum number of seats for supporters. Though state BJP leaders seem to be united against the alliance with the HJC, sources say that the central BJP leadership was always in its favour considering the negative impact that the break-up could have had on the political fortunes of the saffron party.

Bishnoi stays away
“We had invited Bishnoi. Our senior leaders had also sent him a written invitation. We had kept a chair vacant for him during the function. At least, he should have clarified whether he was coming or not as it was the function of the PM, who always speaks for the development of Haryana” said Haryana BJP president Ram Bilas Sharma after the function. On the future of the HJC-BJP alliance, BJP senior leader Anil Vij said, “There is no confusion as our leaders have already clarified that the HJC-BJP alliance will only be on new terms and not the earlier formula of 45-45 seats. We have been preparing at all 90 seats and will announce our candidates at all the seats in the coming days.”

Sonepat, August 19 He was addressing meetings of the party workers at Rai and Sonepat to moblise support for party’s Panipat rally on August 24. It had been the practice of BJP to announce its PM and CM in advance. In the last Assembly and Lok Sabha elections, the party had announced the CM candidates in Delhi, Rajasthan, Chhatisgarh and Madhya Pradesh. Even Narender Modi had been announced as the PM candidate, he added. “The Congress is seeking votes in the name of Bhupinder Singh Hooda as CM,” he said and asked who will be the BJP’s CM face this time. Only those leaders who were incapable of winning elections were joining the BJP, he commented. He blamed the INLD for working against the interests of the farmers and weaker sections of the society. During INLD’s two tenures, a number of farmers were killed by the police while agitating for demands, he added. |

Gurgaon villagers attack toll collectors
Gurgaon, August 19 The protesters removed the toll barriers, making the passage of vehicles free for almost an hour. The toll operator, in its statement to the police, claimed that the collectors were beaten up, documents were torn and about Rs 50,000 was looted. A sarpanch alleged that the toll operator violated the agreement of not charging toll from villagers living nearby. “Are we supposed to pay toll if we visit a village 1 km away. The toll operator violated the decision. So we went to reason out with him,” he said. The sarpanch admitted that the protesters removed the barriers. He, thought, denied beating up anyone or looting money. “Had we done so, the police personnel present at the protest site would have arrested us,” the sarpanch added. “As per the NHAI norms, all commercial and private vehicles are supposed to pay toll, but these villagers have been evading it for six-and-a-half years. Majority of the attackers own nearly 10 vehicles each. They were served notices before we started charging toll from August 18,” read the toll operator’s statement. If further said they (protesters) removed all barriers today and made the passage of vehicles free, causing huge revenue loss. “They did not stop at this and started attacking the toll operators, tore documents and took away Rs 50,000.” The toll operator alleged that the police personnel present at the spot did not stop the protesters and vandalism continued for almost an hour. He claimed that villagers and goons had taken contracts to ensure free passage of commercial vehicles. “They take money from commercial vehicle owners to get them through without paying the toll. It’s high time that the police look into all these aspects and set things right,” the statement added. “The SHO and Manesar ACP reached the spot after learning about the incident. The toll collection was revived. The police are investigating the matter,” said Police Commissioner Alok Mittal. |

Govt puts 293 rail police constables on notice
Chandigarh, August 19 As the case came up for resumed hearing, the information on issuance of show-cause notices to the constables was furnished through an affidavit by the Haryana Railway Police. The affidavit said 312 constables were selected at that time against 350 vacancies . Out of the total, 19 have left the force. The recruitment of constables in the GRP and the Haryana Armed Police was carried out in 2003-04. The High Court, on the previous date of hearing, had called for the list of the selected candidates along with complete particulars for enabling the issuance of notices. The state had earlier submitted an affidavit stating that the “state government has decided it will not be appropriate to dispense with their services.” Giving reasons, Additional Chief Secretary PK Gupta asserted that the original record was unavailable. In its absence, it could not be specifically ascertained who all were selected on merit. Gupta added the selected candidates had put in more than 10 years of service, had gathered experience and there was nothing adverse against them. Besides, the state had incurred heavy expenses on their training. Taking note of the assertions, The Bench observed: “The matter is serious in view of the completely tainted process of selection and the refusal of the state government to scrap that process allegedly on the ground that it is not possible to distinguish between the candidates who came through a tainted process and who were selected on merit….it may require issuing notice to all selected candidates who can, of course, be served through the department. The list of the selected candidates along with complete particulars be made available by the Additional Advocate-General to the Registry of this court so that the necessary orders can be passed….” |

Rape victims get compensation
Gurgaon, August 19 The victim’s family had applied for compensation highlighting their poor financial condition. An enquiry highlighted how the victim had been shifted back to her village to escape societal biases and pressure. Though the victim was in dire need of rehabilitation the family seemed unable to support her and was given Rs. 1 lakh. In second case, a compensation of Rs 2.5 lakh was given on the basis of the recommendation received from the court of Additional Sessions Judge Alka Malik. The victim’s mother justified the need of compensation highlighting the trauma that victim is still undergoing after the incident in 2012 where the rapist dragged her to bushes, raped her and mutilated her face with a brick. The girl was still to overcome the mental trauma as she is still scared of men and refuses to be alone for even a second. The girl’s father is bedridden and though she is getting free treatment from a local hospital, but the family was unable to bear the rehabilitation and transportation costs to the hospital, the mother contended.

Indications are that the BJP may also announce candidates for the “safe and tussle-free” Assembly constituencies in poll-bound Haryana soon.
