Speaking at Faridabad, Hooda said migrants have contributed towards Haryana’s progress with their hard work and played an important role in the development of industries. He said many factories have come up in the state with the help of migrants.

“During the Congress rule, many schemes were started to honour the contribution of migrants and 10,000 flats were provided to settle migrant workers. The BJP government bulldozed 10,000 houses of migrants. The BJP is going to be ousted from Haryana soon. After the formation of the Congress government, a migrant welfare board will be formed,” he said.
