Karnal, March 7

Leader of Opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda today said the discussion on the no-confidence motion in the House on March 10 would expose those claiming to be well-wishers of protesting farmers.

“There are several problems facing the common man such as the three farm laws, inflation, deteriorating law and order situation and unemployment. The state government has failed miserably. Hence, the no-confidence motion,” he said.

The former CM was here to chair a programme to honour Dronacharya awardee Krishan Kumar Hooda, who retired as SP from Haryana Police Academy last week. He is the former chief coach of the Indian kabaddi team.

On the farmers’ protest, the Congress leader said: “I have never seen such a long and peaceful agitation.”

He later told the media the Act ensuring 75 per cent reservation for the state’s youths in the private sector was a fraud with them.

On the ‘G-23’ group of Congress leaders who wrote a letter to party chief Sonia Gandhi demanding organisational overhaul, he said the party was united and there was no conflict.

Hooda also criticised the state government over the sports policy and said honouring players, who brought laurels for the country on the global stage, should be the priority of every government.

“The sports policy is an indicator of a country’s development. The stronger the policy, the stronger the country,” he added.
