Hooda Slams BJP Over Scams, Mismanagement

"We are fully confident that the Congress party will perform well in the municipal corporation elections. It's not just the corporations, but also the council elections, and the Congress will perform well in those, too. There are many such issues that are troubling the urban citizens of Haryana. There are massive scams. The biggest scam has come to light right in Panchkula. It is the leaders associated with the BJP who have orchestrated these widespread scams. In urbanisation, the biggest accomplishment of the BJP's MLAs has been to carve out colonies. The High Court has also commented on this. Today, every city is a victim of mismanagement. We are contesting the elections on all these issues. We are receiving support from the people, and we are confident that the Congress will perform well," he said.
