The Haryana Congress got into an election mode in the State with a rally at Radaur town in Yamunanagar district by former Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda on Wednesday. The rally also became the first as part of the party’s programme to hold similar public meetings across 90 assembly constituencies ahead of the Parliamentary election next year.
Deputy Congress legislative party leader Aftab Ahmed told The Hindu that the campaign dubbed as “Congress Lao, Desh Bachchao (Elect Congress, Protect Country)” and its concomitant rallies, called as ‘Jan Aakrosh Rally’, would aim at highlighting the people’s resentment against unemployment, corruption, crime and farmers’ plight, among other issues.
Mr. Ahmed, who is part of the 11-member campaign committee, said the Congress Legislative Party leader, State unit president, and area MLA, among others, would be present at these rallies. He added that consent was received from half-a-dozen MLAs for rallies in their respective assembly constituencies and the campaign would be accordingly scheduled.
