Karnal (Haryana) : Exuding confidence in winning the upcoming Haryana Assembly Elections, Congress MP Deepender Singh Hooda said that the people have decided to change the Bharatiya Janata Party-led government in the state.
"All the Congress leaders will contest the elections together and will be seen in all the campaigns...People have decided to change the BJP government," he said.
Earlier, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Friday, in a satirical video, took a jibe at the BJP-led Haryana Government and said that the state government has been sleeping for 10 years.
Kharge on his social media handle on X shared a satirical video, which showed that the public (primarily youth) of Haryana is trying to wake up the "sleeping" Haryana government, citing several issues including unemployment, inflation, kidnapping, murder, crime, and MSP, but instead of acting on the issues, the government remains impassive.
In a social media post on X, Mallikarjun Kharge, while sharing a video, wrote, "The BJP government in Haryana has been sleeping for 10 years. Now we will get relief from inflation, unemployment, farmer oppression and crime...!
Bring Congress, save Haryana!"
In the shared video, the individuals said, "Get up; unemployment and inflation are increasing with speed of rocket. Haryana has become number 1 in the kidnapping, murder and ransom; it's time to wake up. Farmers didn't get MSP; rather, they got the 'black- laws.'
This is Haryana's 10-year-old government, which will keep sleeping, but you (the public) need to wake up. Congress Lao, Haryana Bachao!"
The Congress on Wednesday announced seven guarantees for Haryana assembly polls which will be part of its election manifesto, promising restoration of the Old Pension Scheme, two lakh jobs, caste survey, 300 units of free power and free medical treatment upto Rs 25 lakh.
Making the announcement about the guarantees, party chief Mallikarjun Kharge said here that guarantees pertain to women, social security, youth, the poor, and the farmers.
Voting for the 90-member legislative assembly in Haryana will be held on October 5. Votes will be counted on October 8 along with that in Jammu and Kashmir.
