Unlike others, JJP will deliver on promises: Ajay Chautala

Criticising the BJP and the Congress for making empty promises in their manifestos, such as free electricity and Rs 500 per cylinder, Ajay Chautala, national president of the Jananayak Janata Party (JJP), stated that both parties had been in power in Haryana for the past 20 years but had failed to fulfil their commitments to the people.

Speaking in Fatehabad during a campaign for JJP-ASP candidates, he highlighted that despite having only a 20 per cent share in the coalition government, JJP had successfully implemented nearly 90 per cent of its promises. These include providing 50 per cent reservation for women in local bodies and 8 per cent for backward classes. He urged voters to recognise who truly had their interests at heart.

He emphasised that JJP’s agenda mirrors the values of Chaudhary Devi Lal, advocating for people’s rights and welfare. Chautala accused both the national parties of being insincere, suggesting they only engaged in empty rhetoric and did not have any genuine plans for the state.

Addressing concerns over pensions, he rebuked former Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda for falsely claiming to increase old age pension to Rs 6,000. Chautala reminded the people that Hooda had failed to consider any hike during his 10 years in office. He asserted that the old-age pension scheme, initiated by Chaudhary Devi Lal, aimed to increase pensions to Rs 5,100, a commitment JJP was prepared to fulfil if elected. Chautala acknowledged that the current pension amount of Rs 3,000 for senior citizens was among the highest in the country, attributing this success to JJP’s role in the government.

He called upon party workers to engage actively in the campaign, stressing that the public was ready for change. “We must leave no stone unturned to bring JJP-ASP to power,” he urged. He reassured voters that JJP would fulfil all its promises if given the opportunity, asking them to support JJP-ASP candidates in the upcoming elections.
