Former Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda on Sundayslammed the state’s government, claiming it took no concrete steps to avoid Gurgaon traffic jam situation.
“Just changing the names of schemes and cities won’t help. The government will have to deliver on ground. They renamed Gurgaon as Gurugram, but after massive traffic jam there this week the people have renamed it as Gurujam,” Hooda said. “Whatever excuse the government may give, the truth is that they took no concrete step to avoid such a situation. No desilting work of Badshahpur and Najafgarh drains has taken place in the last two years,” he added. He said when Congress government led by him was in power for ten years, heavy spells were witnessed, but never before did Gurgaon see such massive traffic jams. “See the turn which the situation took this time even when it had rained just for a few hours in Gurgaon. People were trapped in jams for up to 20 hours,” he said.
