Addressing the people at various places, the BJP MP told the people that it was the BJP government in the state and at the Centre that had brought about development and created jobs on Gurgaon and south Haryana.

“The nation has developed and so have Gurgaon and south Haryana, including Mewat. The whole country wants Prime Minister Narendra Modi to form the next government, because of his record of development, his action against terror and his efforts to make India proud in the international community of nations,” said Singh.

Singh cited the recently announced AIIMS centre in Manethi, completion of the KMP(Kundli-Manesar-Palwal) Expressway, electrification of Rewari-Delhi railway line, setting up of the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority(GMDA), construction of a number of major roads connecting Rewari with Gurugram and other areas as the achievements of the government.

Singh also used the opportunity to visit Gokalgarh and Saranwas, both of which have been traditionally supporting the Congress and where his opponent Capt (Retd) Ajay Singh Yadav has a strong support base.

Member of the legislative assembly (MLA) from Rewari, Randhir Kapdiwas, also shared the stage with Singh in village Bhoodpur and asked the people to vote for Singh in large numbers. Singh’s daughter Arti Rao, said, “We have helped to set up the GMDA, launched bus services, improved the infrastructure on highway and awarded work on Dwarka Expressway. In the next five years, we will strive to reduce pollution and protect the Aravallis.”
