Former Haryana Chief Minister and Leader of Opposition in Haryana Assembly Bhupinder Singh Hooda on Thursday said that the BJP-JJP government in the state had “lost people’s trust” and was looking for a “troubleshooter”.

“The goings-on in the BJP-JJP alliance indicate that the regime has lost people’s trust and is looking for a troubleshooter to save the coalition government,” Hooda told reporters here.

The senior Congress leader was replying to a query on the recent meetings of Haryana Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister with the Prime Minister and the Union Home Minister.

Hooda said that the Haryana Government was taking decisions against the aspirations of the people, due to which different sections of society were staging protest demonstrations.

“The BJP-JJP leadership is concerned only about saving the coalition government, but the regimes that go against people’s sentiments fall by themselves,” he remarked.

The former Chief Minister maintained that nearly 70 farmers had lost their lives during the ongoing agitation, but the government was insulting and inciting them instead of empathising with them.

“The situation in Haryana has taken a serious turn. People are dejected with the state government and are opposing the leaders of the BJP and JJP. In view of the prevailing atmosphere, we have urged the Governor to convene a special session of the state Assembly,” Hooda said, adding that the Congress would bring a no-confidence motion against the government during the special session.
