Public Outrage Against BJP Growing: Bhupinder Hooda

Faridabad, 10 May, 2024 : A dozen former councilors in Faridabad abandon BJP, embrace Congress.

In Haryana, opposition leader and former Chief Minister Chaudhary Bhupinder Singh Hooda said that the public’s anger towards the BJP is matched by their enthusiasm for the Congress. The current government only appeases criminals, corrupt individuals, and drug dealers. The public is thoroughly distressed by BJP’s policies and practices. Consequently, leaders leaving BJP to join Congress in the state is becoming a trend.

Mr. Hooda addressed the public at his residence on Friday. On this occasion, a dozen former councilors from Faridabad Municipal Corporation, led by Congress’ Faridabad Lok Sabha candidate Chaudhary Mahendra Pratap Singh, announced their departure from BJP to join Congress. Pradesh Congress Committee President Chaudhary Uday Bhan assured all the former councilors by formally inducting them into Congress and pledging full respect within the party, urging them to actively participate in the election campaign for Congress candidate Mahendra Pratap Singh.

These joining councilors of Congress include Deepak Chaudhary, Ravi Mahendra, Rishi Chaudhary, Mahendra Sarpanch, Kailash Bansal, Hema Bansal, Jayveer Khattana, Sheetal Khattana, Brahmvati Khattana, Nihal Pahalwan (husband of Omvati Kanwar), Sandeep Bhardwaj, Vikas Bhardwaj, among others.

Former Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda has no tasks to highlight or achievements to present when he approaches the public seeking votes on behalf of BJP. There’s no roadmap for the future with BJP. Meanwhile, Congress seeks votes on the basis of its developmental works and manifesto promises. He stated that there is chaos among councilors in the Lok Sabha elections in Faridabad. As a result, nearly a dozen former councilors have announced their intention to join Congress and have extended their support to Congress candidate Mahendra Pratap.

These joining councilors claim to have been fed up with corruption and looting in the municipal corporation. Therefore, they have chosen to support Congress. Congress has not harassed local bodies and refrained from encroaching on councilors’ jurisdiction.

They said that corruption of over 200 crore rupees has been done, and their voices are not being heard. They are not being listened to regarding developmental works. There is no other way left for us to support Mahendra Pratap except to support Mahendra Pratap against the unchecked BJP rule. We are going to change the BJP rule in this election and thereafter.

Former councilor Kailash Bansal and current councilor Hema Bansal said that in their village, a drainage worth about two and a half crore rupees has been built on paper, and payment has also been made. We have not seen such corruption in our life. Therefore, we have decided to change. All the current councilors have assured Mahendra Pratap Singh, the Lok Sabha candidate of Congress, that they will join the Congress party. In this occasion, former Chief Minister Bhupinder Hooda and Pradesh President Uday Bhan Congress’s Lok Sabha candidate Mahendra Pratap Singh led a dozen former councilors of Faridabad to join the Congress party.
