State to witness progress in Congress rule: Bhupinder Singh Hooda

Former Chief Minister and Leader of Opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda has stated that a lot of development works would be carried out in the state as soon as the Congress comes to power and starts implementing its election manifesto.

In a media interaction at Rohtak on Sunday, Hooda asserted that a Congress government would be formed in the state with a huge majority.

“Exit polls may have come after the voting, but the people had already made up their mind in this regard,” he stated.

The Congress leader expressed gratitude to the voters of the state for peaceful polling.

In response to a query, Hooda said the BJP did not have any poll plank as it had failed to bring any worthwhile project to the state in its two successive tenures.

“Criminals and miscreants are committing crimes fearlessly. It seems as if there is no government in the state. The situation will change when the Congress government is formed. We will not allow crime and drugs to exist in Haryana,” he promised.

Earlier, a delegation comprising members of the agitating Rice Millers and Dealers Association met Hooda, who assured them of fulfilling their demands after the formation of a Congress government in the state.

“Presently, you should take a decision keeping in mind the farmers' interests and empathise with them. Farmers are continuously reaching the markets with paddy and are worried due to its non-purchase,” said Hooda.

The rice-millers said they would soon hold a meeting and take a decision in this regard.
