New Delhi: Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Saturday said the Congress’ “incoming government” in Haryana will end “the decade of pain” and the party has resolved to fulfill the hopes and aspirations of the people of the state.
Gandhi made the remarks after the Haryana Congress rolled out its detailed poll manifesto for the October 5 state assembly polls, making a host of promises, including setting up a farmer welfare commission, Rs 2 crore for the families of martyred soldiers, promoting labour-intensive units for generating employment and reconstitution of the Haryana Minority Commission.
Haryana Congress chief Udai Bhan, Leader of Opposition in the state Assembly Bhupinder Singh Hooda and former Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot among other leaders were present on the occasion of manifesto launch.
In a post in Hindi on X, Gandhi alleged the BJP has snatched away Haryana’s prosperity, dreams and power in a decade of its rule.
The Agniveer scheme snatched away the aspirations of the patriotic youth, unemployment snatched away the smile of families and inflation snatched away women’s self-reliance, he alleged.
