BJP chief Amit Shah today ruled out any post-poll alliance with the INLD in Haryana. “Some vested interests were spreading rumors about an alliance between the two parties,” Shah said here while campaigning for Aseem Goyal, BJP candidate for Ambala city constituency.
He addressed a thin crowd because he reached the venue three hours late, and people had started leaving by then.
Attacking the Congress government, Shah said, “Despite Haryana being contiguous to Delhi, it remained undeveloped because successive governments of the Congress and INLD did not work for development and rather remained busy accumulating wealth.
One chief minister is already behind bars for corruption and the other will soon meet the same fate. During the last 20 years, you have seen Chautala and Hooda, under whose regimes the state was converted into a cesspool of corruption and the common man suffered.”
On the NDA government headed by Narendra Modi, Shah said, “Modi spoke on every issue while former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh remained mum as Sonia Gandhi did not allow him to speak for 10 years. In the last four months, the government brought down price rise, petrol price, LPG cylinders supply was increased, Jan Dhan Yojna was introduced for the poor.”
After Ambala, Shah addressed a gathering in Tohana, where he lashed out at the INLD, calling its regime “Goondaraaj”. Later today, INLD MP from Hisar Dushyant Chautala described Shah’s attack on the INLD as “frustration”. Dushyant, who is contesting from Uchana Kalan, was also addressing a public meeting at Tohana.
“Shah must explain that if INLD was spreading ‘goondaaraj’ while in power in Haryana, why did the BJP not withdraw support at that time? None of the BJP leaders spoke publicly during Chautala’s regime. Now they are targeting INLD only because they are aware that it is set to form the next government in Haryana,” Dushyant added.
“The way the BJP ended its coalition with Shiv Sena in Maharashtra has also exposed its real face, that it was not sincere with its allies who stood by it when the saffron party needed them the most.”
