In a recent election rally in Ambala, Congress leader Bhupinder Singh Hooda promised to open the Shambhu border for farmers if the party comes to power in the Haryana assembly polls. The farmers have been protesting at the Shambhu and Khanauri border points demanding a legal guarantee for minimum support price for crops. Hooda accused the BJP government of being dictatorial and failing to address the needs of the farmers.
He reiterated the Congress’ commitment to fulfilling promises, including providing Rs 6,000 as old age pension, Rs 2,000 honorarium to women, and increasing the creamy layer for OBCs. The rally also addressed issues of employment opportunities, infrastructure development, and accountability for various injustices.
With promises to address the grievances of farmers, wrestlers, soldiers, and daughters, the Congress is vying for support in the upcoming elections. The rally highlighted the failures of the current government and the need for change. Stay tuned for more updates on the Haryana assembly polls.
