BJP only made empty promises, Congress will show how Rohtak is rebuilt, says Bharat Bhushan Batra

Locked in a direct contest, Congress chief whip and its candidate Bharat Bhushan Batra and former BJP minister and its nominee Manish Kumar Grover are leaving no chance to target each other during their election campaign.

While speaking during his public contact programme, Batra said the BJP did nothing for the development of Rohtak city and to redress its grievances during its regime. “The BJP and its leaders should know that development and grievances cannot be resolved through ‘jumla’. Sincere efforts are needed to do so,” he added.

“The BJP has given only ‘jumla’ in the name of development but the Congress, on coming to power, will again show how grievances are resolved quickly and Rohtak city is rebuilt. The Congress is on the path of truth and I neither do politics of lies nor like negative things. Nothing is more important than Rohtak city for me, hence I flagged every issue before the Vidhan Sabha prominently but the BJP regime turned a blind eye towards them,” claimed Batra, a close aide of former Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda.

My priority, overall development

My priority is to ensure the overall development of Rohtak city. There was a major issue of traffic jams in the city. I got an elevated road and elevated rail track constructed to decongest the city. To keep the city clean, the work of door-to-door garbage collection was initiated. — Manish Kumar Grover, BJP candidate

The Congress candidate said a comprehensive plan had been chalked out to decongest Rohtak city but the BJP did not execute it to serve the interest of its local leaders. “I will resolve this issue as soon as the Congress forms the government,” Batra, outgoing MLA.

On the other hand, Grover, a close aide of former CM and Union Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, questioned the Congress nominee why he did not get them resolved if there were issues in Rohtak city.

“The Congress and its leaders indulge in the politics of lies with an intention to mislead the people. Though I was not the MLA but I remained active in the field and worked for the welfare of people in the past five years but the Congress MLA was nowhere,” he claimed. Grover appealed to the people to form the BJP government for the third time in the state to continue the process of providing government jobs on merit and development.

“My priority is to ensure the overall development of Rohtak city. There was a major issue of traffic jams in the city. I got an elevated road and elevated rail track constructed to decongest the city. To keep the city clean, the work of door-to-door garbage collection was initiated. Many more development projects were executed during the BJP regime,” he claimed.
