# Congress to corner Haryana government on crime, tax hikes in Assembly 2026-08-12T03:11:30+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Congress leader Bhupinder Singh Hooda said the party will corner the BJP government in the monsoon session of the Haryana Assembly over law and order, organised crime, and property tax hikes. Hooda said Congress MLAs will move a calling attention motion and an adjournment motion on alleged bank scams involving IDFC Bank and AU Small Finance Bank. He also accused the government of failing to lift urea and DAP allocations from the Centre, harming farmers. Hooda raised the Sutlej-Yamuna Link canal dispute, criticising the chief minister for not pressing Punjab on water sharing. The party will hold a protest on August 19 demanding regularisation of 1.25 lakh Kaushal Rozgar Nigam workers, a promise the BJP made during the 2024 elections but has not fulfilled. ## Coverage - thehindu.com Tags: Bhupinder Singh Hooda, BJP government, Haryana Assembly, law and order, Organised crime, SYL Canal Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/congress-to-corner-haryana-government-on-crime-tax-hikes-in-assembly/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
