The Story in Brief
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.
The Indian Opinion
Both the BJP and Congress in Haryana have mastered the art of selective outrage. Hooda taxes the government about property levies but was silent when his own regime raised collector rates. Meanwhile, the BJP promised regularisation of 1.25 lakh 'Kaushal' workers in 2024 but has delivered nothing. The real test will be whether the Assembly's adjournment motion on the IDFC Bank and AU Small Finance Bank cases produces documents or just headlines.
