BJP govt at Centre betrayed all section of society: Hry Cong chief

The Haryana Congress today lashed out at the BJP government at the Centre on its fourth anniversary, alleging that it has betrayed all sections of the society and the dispensation has proved to be "anti-farmer".

As part of the Congress' "Betrayal Day" to mark four years of the Modi government, workers of the party's Haryana unit held a demonstration here. Senior vice president of Haryana Congress Sneh Lata Ahalawat and the party's State Coordinator of IT cell Raghav Vij got their heads shaved in protest against the BJP dispensation at the Centre.

"During these four years, all sections of the society have been betrayed by the BJP government," Haryana Congress chief Ashok Tanwar alleged.

Terming the Modi government "anti-farmer", he said, "The cost of input has increased but the return to farmers for their crops has decreased. As per RBI report the Rural Wage Growth which was 38 per cent in 2014, has come down to zero per cent in 2018. The slogan of doubling farmers' income by 2022 is merely a 'Jumla' (gimmickry)."
