The ten years of BJP governance in Haryana has left the state nowhere and the people now are eager for a change, Congress' Deepender Hooda told NDTV in an exclusive interview today. Mr Hooda, who is on a footmarch across the state, today reached the 49th constituency. He said his yatra has only made it clear that the state is ready for change.
"Ten years of misgovernance on part of the BJP has left Haryana nowhere. Haryana today ranks number one in terms of unemployment, in terms of inflation, number one in drug use, and number one in the whole nation as far as crime is concerned," Mr Hooda told NDTV.The crime rate, he said, was "from the data of the Central government".
The senior Congress leader also alleged a trust deficit between the BJP's central and state leaders, given the state government was caught unprepared for the Election Commission announcement of poll dates that came two days ago.
