The former CM said, “The total population of Haryana was 2.80 crore. It is very sad that 2.11 crore people have been pushed into poverty by the BJP. Being BPL meant that the BJP government has not been able to provide employment, quality education, health care, adequate food, clean water, proper sanitation and safe housing to such a large population.”
