Chandigarh: Former Chief Minister and Leader of the Opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda has stated that the BJP government appeared to be running away from the questions raised by the Congress and issues of public interest throughout the entire Assembly session.
Addressing a press conference after the conclusion of the winter session, Hooda strongly objected to the government's stance, saying that the government avoided discussion and questions throughout the session.
“This is the first time that not a single adjournment motion, calling attention motion or short-duration discussion motion moved by the Congress was accepted. The Congress had submitted motions to raise all important issues related to Haryana's rights, including farmers, unemployed youth, recruitment scams, MSP, paddy scam, MNREGA, corruption, education, health, deaths of sportspersons, SYL, Chandigarh, and hate speech, but the government did not respond to a single one. Repeated attempts were made to mislead the House and silence the opposition, which is why the Congress had to stage walkouts several times,” he said.
“Even during the discussion on the no-confidence motion, the government remained completely silent on the issues raised by the Congress. The Haryana government could not even clarify the status of Chandigarh,” he added.
Hooda said that the new rules regarding the Aravalli range will cause the most harm to Haryana. The state's BJP government should have opposed this, but the government remained silent even on the issue of illegal mining and the destruction of the Aravalli range.
On the SYL issue, he said the Supreme Court's final decision has come in favor of Haryana, but the government has not yet been able to secure Haryana's rightful share of water. Moreover, an all-party delegation has not yet been able to meet with the Prime Minister on this issue.
The Leader of the Opposition said the government is running away from public issues and avoiding accountability in the Assembly. The Congress will continue its struggle inside and outside the Assembly to protect the interests of Haryana.
