Yamunanagar : While addressing a large gathering highlighting the situation of increasing unemployment among youths in Haryana, the leader of opposition in Vidhan Sabha and the former chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda made an appeal to youths not to leave their homes for petty labour jobs in other countries and promised that if his party comes to power, it will provide them government jobs. Congress leaders Bhupinder Hooda during the ‘Vipaksh Aapke Samaksh’ and ‘Jai Bharat Satyagraha’ programme at Jagadhari grain market in Yamunanagar assured youths. He said, under the Khattar regime the state has climbed to the top in the country in three major sectors: unemployment, crime and inflation.
Speaking to youths, Hooda said that they should stay back, since BJP government is wiped out of the state and as soon as the Congress government comes to power, we will provide permanent employment to youth in Haryana itself and provide them lakhs of government jobs within the state. He further said there has been a cut of 1.82 lakh permanent jobs in the state and the ruling government is acting like a contractor rather than ending contract system, as promised.
The former CM Hooda also claimed that Haryana is among few of states, where debt is more than the actual budget. He said, the state’s budget is Rs 1.83 lakh crore and they have accepted the fact that the debt is more than that at Rs 2.85 lakh crore, whereas actually it’s more than Rs 4 lakh crore and he has data to corroborate the same, and will disclose the details in a press conference in Chandigarh in a day or so.
Hooda said, Yamunanagar is popular for its plywood and metal industry in the area, while sugarcane and popular trees are largely grown in the belt apart from other traditional crops. But due to present ruling government erratic policies, industries are shifting to neighbouring states. Many plywood and metal industries have already shifted to Moradabad and other places from Yamunanagar and Jagadhari which was popular in the country in maufacturing plywood and metal utensils in past now has lost the charm, Hooda said.
The Congress rally was attended by nearly two dozen party MLAs, large number of former ministers and scores of its leaders and workers in the state. Hooda said, the BJP is losing grip over the state. Congress National President Mallikarjun Kharge in his address strongly condemned Prime Minister Narender Modi in the habit of often abusing Congress, rather should explain achievements by his party in poll rallies, instead of creating terror among people if Congress comes to power. He raised a question, what excesses have been made by Congress government while ruling over the country for a period about 55 years. Kharge said, voters are going to give reply to BJP government in present polls as regard lathees, gun shots on farmers, increasing unemployment to youths, their conspiracy to finish constituency and repeatedly making false assurances to the people in Haryana state like to bring back black money in the country, credit amount worth Rs 15 lakh in the bank account of every citizen, to develop 100 smart cities, introduce Bullet trains, double the farmers income, provide residential house to every family below povery line, apart from large number of other fake assurances made to the people time to time, which remained unfulfilled in their past 10 years rule.
