The Congress party led by Bhupinder Singh Hooda is all set to attack the Manohar Lal Khattar and Dushyant Chautala-led BJP-JJP coalition government Tuesday during the second day of the ongoing Winter Session of Haryana Vidhan Sabha. The opposition will question the Haryana Government on its flagship schemes, including Haryana Kaushal Rozgar Nigam and the Parivar Pehchan Patra scheme, and new property identity cards.

Senior Congress MLA from Tosham, Kiran Choudhry, has moved a Calling Attention Notice on “recruitment through Haryana Kaushal Rozgar Nigam in the State”. Independent MLA from Meham, Balraj Kundu, and Congress MLAs including Bharat Bhushan Batra, Varun Chaudhary, and Aftab Ahmed will also question the government on the same issue.

Meanwhile, the issue of bad roads once again rocked Question Hour during Day 2 of the proceedings of the ongoing session. Several Congress MLAs, including Israna MLA Balbir Singh, listed a number of bad roads in their respective constituencies questioning the state government over the time it will take to repair the potholed roads.
