Government that uses ‘lathi’ over talks has no right to stay in power: Congress MP Deepender Hooda
Congress MP Deepender Hooda said this in Yamunanagar on Saturday, where he addressed more than half a dozen public meetings in several villages under the ‘Hath Se Hath Jodo Abhiyan’ and invited the public for ‘Vipaksh Aapke Samaksh’ programme to be held on April 2 in Jagadhari.
Congress MP in Rajya Sabha Deepender Hooda on Saturday said when the ruling government stops listening to the public and uses the language of ‘lathi’ (baton) then it has no right to remain in power and it becomes the responsibility of the opposition to listen to the public.
He said this in Yamunanagar on Saturday, where he addressed more than half a dozen public meetings in several villages under the ‘Hath Se Hath Jodo Abhiyan’ and invited the public for ‘Vipaksh Aapke Samaksh’ programme to be held on April 2 in Jagadhari.
“To convey the voice of the public to the ears of the deaf government, the Leader of the Opposition along with all his MLAs is going to the public in every part of the state under the programme Vipaksh Aapke Samaksh,” he told a gathering.
He said, “By ignoring the farmers, youth, anganwadi workers, sportspersons, employees, elders and even children, the government is trampling on their honour. People are fed up with this government. Whenever any section tries to voice its concerns, this government hits them with lathi.”
The Congress leader also hit out at the government for “highest unemployment in the country, paper leaks and corruption” and assured that the party’s campaign is to “unite society, connect farmers with the guarantee of MSP, connect the youth with employment, connect employees with the old pension scheme and the elderly with the highest old age pension of ₹6,000 in the country.”
