Congress leader Bhupinder Singh Hooda Tuesday demanded that President’s Rule be imposed in Haryana and Assembly elections be held, claiming that BJP and the JJP, which ruled state for four and a half years, have accepted defeat even before the polls by breaking the alliance and changing the chief minister.
“It is clear that a failed coalition government was running in the state, which had completely disillusioned the people. Today, both Manohar Lal Khattar and Dushyant Chautala have been shown the door and a new chief minister has been installed just before the elections. The BJP by doing this is trying to divert attention from the failures of nine-and-a half years. The BJP has no moral right to remain in power in the state. Assembly elections should be conducted immediately by immediately imposing President’s rule in the state,” Hooda said.
He said the BJP-JJP alliance was not for any policy or public interest. “They joined hands to enjoy the fruits of power. Today both the parties have broken the alliance to deceive the public. The truth is that this alliance has been broken under the same agreement under which the BJP-JJP had got into the alliance. Both parties are still the same internally. They will create drama of fighting separately to divide the votes against this government in the elections,” he added.
Hooda said that he had said this in public forums even before the 2019 assembly elections. “During the election campaign, I had told people that both BJP and JJP are in collusion and are creating drama of opposing each other just to divide the Congress votes. Ultimately that is what happened and JJP sat in the lap of the government against which the people of Haryana had voted. I had called it a ‘thugbandhan’ and said that it was an opportunistic and a selfish alliance,” he said.
