Baroda bypoll results will pave way for mid-term elections in Haryana: OP Chautala
He accused the state government of harassing farmers by imposing several conditions to deprive them of getting minimum support price.
Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) chief OP Chautala on Monday said the results of Baroda bypoll will pave way for the possibility of mid-term elections in Haryana.
Out on parole from Tihar jail, Chautala said, “Since the BJP-JJP government has failed on all fronts and people have lost faith in them, there is a strong possibility of mid-term elections in Haryana and results of the Baroda bypoll will further pave way for it.”
He accused the state government of harassing farmers by imposing several conditions to deprive them of getting minimum support price. “The three laws will affect the farmers and ruin the mandi system. There is no space in the mandis and farmers are being forced to unload their produce on roads,” he said, while interacting with mediapersons at Pipli grain market in Kurukshetra.
Chautala also accused the state government of using force on farmers at Pipli and misusing power to register FIRs against them. He said the Union government has enacted these laws to benefit some big corporate houses. “The INLD will revert all wrong decisions of this anti-people government if voted to power,” he added.
Chautala also visited Yamunanagar where he met party workers and relatives. He said the INLD candidate is in a good position for the Baroda bypoll and there is a possibility that the result will be against the ruling dispensation.
Later, the INLD leader also met BJP MLA Ghanshyam Das Arora at his residence to offer condolences on the demise of his brother last week.
