Hooda Challenges BJP: Reflect on Achievements, Not Legacy

Congress leader Bhupinder Singh Hooda criticizes the ruling BJP in Haryana for focusing on past Congress governance instead of their achievements. He addresses issues of favoritism, corruption, and regional bias allegations, and questions unfulfilled promises, such as job shortages and unkept MSP commitments.

Haryana's political landscape heated up as Congress leader Bhupinder Singh Hooda challenged the ruling BJP, urging them to emphasize their achievements rather than focusing on the previous Congress regime. Participating in a debate on the governor's address, Hooda criticized the BJP for failing to showcase substantial accomplishments during their 10-year rule.

The former chief minister specifically targeted the issues of favoritism and corruption that the BJP often associates with his Congress government. Hooda refuted these claims, accusing the BJP of overshadowing their own shortcomings by harping on past 'kharchi' and 'parchi' practices. He also questioned the BJP's handling of paper-leak incidents and scams under their governance.

Furthermore, Hooda defended his legacy against dynasty accusations, highlighting his father's role in India's freedom movement. He pointed out the Congress government's contributions to education, health, and energy projects across Haryana. Addressing current challenges, Hooda criticized the BJP for unfulfilled promises on MSP for crops and raised concerns over job vacancies in government positions, questioning the state of essential services like schools and hospitals.
