BS Hooda takes on NDA govt, question price hike

Addressing a campaign rally at Badli in Jhajjar district, Hooda said even as prime minister was welcoming the Chinese president Xi Jinping in India, the Chinese soldiers had entered the Indian territory and put up tents, while India could not do anything. Yet during the Lok Sabha elections the same BJP used to say it would not tolerate any misadventure from neighbouring countries.
Hooda alleged the pro-rich BJP government does not care for the farmers of the country. ‘Prices of cotton crashed this year in Haryana and the farmers are suffering as a result, but the Centre has taken no action at all,’ he said adding that he too requested the Centre to help the farmers, but nothing happened.
He lambasted the BJP government for failing to control the price rise. ‘Tell me, what is the price of tomato, onion and potato? The government raised the prices of sugar and hiked rail fare the moment it came to power,’ Hooda said.
Pooh-poohing the existence of Modi wave in the country, Hooda said if this was the case, they should explain why they lost 21 of the 42 seats they held earlier, in the recent by-election held in the country. The fall from grace of the BJP took place in just three months and in the next three months they would become zero, he said.
