Former Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda today boosted the election campaign of former minister and Congress candidate Geeta Bhukkal by addressing a poll rally at Ladayan village in the Jhajjar Assembly segment.

Hooda said Bhukkal was a brave leader who had raised public issues prominently in the Vidhan Sabha. Every vote polled to her in the election would strengthen him and the Congress. He also announced to make Bhukkal Cabinet Minister if the party is voted to power.

“The BJP’s claim of getting more than 75 seats in the Assembly polls will prove hollow as the Congress is coming back to power. The BJP made 154 promises in the 2014 Assembly elections but did not fulfil even one,” said Hooda.

Hitting back at the BJP leaders for their statements about making the lotus bloom in the Deswali belt comprising Rohtak, Jhajjar and Sonepat, Hooda said “It is not easy for the BJP to demolish my citadel. It has been made by the people who are ready to teach a lesson to the BJP government for its misdeed and mis-governance in the past five years.”

He accused the BJP government of pushing farmers and other sections of the society on the path of devastation by implementing erroneous policies. “Haryana was number-one in terms of development in 2014 but Khattar government has made the state number-one in unemployment rate and crime rate,” said Hooda, adding that the BJP had worked to burn the state thrice and to vitiate the social harmony to serve its political interest.
