Congress’s Bhupinder Hooda accuses BJP-JJP govt of running away from discussions of public centric issues

Former Chief Minister of Haryana Bhupinder Singh Hooda on August 26 hit out at the ruling Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP)-Jannayak Janta Party (JJP) coalition government, saying the ongoing Assembly session has been deliberately kept short as the government wants to run away from discussing public centric issues.

Expressing concern over the short duration of the Assembly session, that began on Saturday, Mr. Hooda, current Leader of the Opposition (LoP), said the three-day session would not be enough to discuss all the problems faced by the people.

“The government has deliberately kept the duration of the session short as it does not want to answer important issues. The attitude of this government has always been one to shun accountability. It has become a habit of the government to run away from issues but the Congress will continue to fight on issues of public interest from the House to the streets,” he said at a press conference here.
