Assembly Elections 2024: Nayab Singh Saini, the Chief Minister of Haryana, has recently intensified his criticism of the Congress party during the ongoing ‘Mhara Haryana-Non Stop Haryana Jan Ashirwad’ rally. He described the previous Congress government, led by Bhupinder Singh Hooda, as a “decade of terror,” accusing it of creating an atmosphere of fear and corruption that hindered the state’s progress. Saini claimed that under Congress rule, Dalit women faced significant oppression and that the party’s governance was detrimental to the welfare of the people of Haryana.
Key Accusations Against Congress
- Corruption and Fear: Saini alleged that the Congress government fostered a climate of fear and corruption during its ten years in power, stating, “The ten years of Congress were filled with terror in every way.”
- Recruitment Blockages: He accused Congress of forming a “recruitment-stopping gang” that obstructed government recruitment processes by filing petitions with the Election Commission and the High Court.
- Police Infrastructure: Saini highlighted his government’s establishment of 33 new police stations across the state as a measure to improve law and order, contrasting this with the alleged failures of the previous administration.
- Employment Initiatives: The Chief Minister pointed to the Haryana Kaushal Rojgar Nigam (HKRN), which he claimed provided jobs to 120,000 youths, as evidence of the BJP’s commitment to employment compared to the Congress’s record.
Upcoming Assembly Elections
With the Haryana Assembly elections scheduled for October 5, 2024, Saini’s remarks come as part of a broader campaign strategy to consolidate support and counter the Congress’s criticisms. He urged voters to reject the Congress party, asserting that their past governance had misled the populace and failed to deliver on promises.
Conclusion: Assembly Elections
Nayab Singh Saini’s strong rhetoric against the Congress party reflects the high stakes of the upcoming elections in Haryana. As he positions the BJP as a party of progress and accountability, the effectiveness of his campaign will be tested at the polls.
