‘Congress should visit their own ruled states instead of Mandis’

Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Saturday strongly criticised the Opposition, stating that Congress leaders should visit Congress-governed states like Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka and Telangana to assess whether their governments have fulfilled electoral promises, instead of visiting Anaj mandis in Haryana to mislead farmers.

Addressing the Viksit Dadri Rally as the Chief Guest in Charkhi Dadri, the CM said that while the Opposition only indulges in allegations, the Haryana government has a clear “report card” of development and fulfilment of their promises.
