Mahendragarh (Haryana): Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday stepped up his attacks on Congress leader Bhupinder Singh Hooda and his campaign "Hisaab Maange Haryana" and said that former chief minister needs to provide account of the corruption he did during his tenure.
Stating "Baniya Ka Betu Hu, Payi-Payi ka Hisab Lekar Chaltu Hu", he said that his party always keep accounts of everything intact.
Addressing a rally at Haryana Central University, Amit Shah took a jibe at the Congress' campaign of Hisaab Maange Haryana and said, "Hooda Sahab, I have come here with the accounts, what will you ask for? I challenge you to go in public with a portfolio of our works of 10 years and Congress' work of 10 years. Baniya ka Beta Hu, Payi-Payi ka Hisab Leke Chalta Hu."
Stressing that his party workers will visit 6,250 village panchayat to give an account of our developmental works, He further stated, "They( Congress) were in government in both, central and state for 10 years, but they only sanctioned Rs 41,000 crores for Haryana. When PM Modi and Manohar Lal Khattar came into power, we sanctioned Rs 2.69 lakh crores for Haryana. Can you give accounts for providing fewer jobs, doing casteism, corruption, and nepotism? We have accounts of each village. Our party workers will visit 6250 village panchayats in the state and give accounts of our work. Hooda Sahab, you need to give your accounts, not us."
Earlier on July 11, outlining key objectives of the "Haryana Maange Hisaab" campaign, Haryana Assembly leader of opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda on Thursday said that the party aims to reach out to the people, hear their complaints and include it in the manifesto for the upcoming state assembly elections and highlight the BJP government's shortcomings.
Hooda stated that the "Haryana Maange Hisaab" campaign aims to inform the public about the alleged shortcomings of the current government, understand the mindset and expectations of the people through feedback, and use this feedback to shape the party's manifesto.
The Haryana Assembly Elections are to be held later this year on 90 Assembly seats. The tenure of Haryana Legislative Assembly is scheduled to be end on 3 November 2024.
The campaign aims to expose the failures of the BJP government to the public across all 90 assembly constituencies.
