"The new NDA Government is less than a month old, but already the common man is facing the burden with their policies," Hooda said addressing a party workers meeting here.
He said that the voters have started to realise that they have chosen a wrong party.
"Instead of bringing people the oft-promised 'ache din' (good days), it has inflicted on them 'mehnge din' (price rise), making them reel under relentless price rise, made acute by the anti-people policies pursued by the Narendra Modi Government," he said.
"Some promises were made and expectations were aroused that after Modi became the Prime Minister, diesel would be sold at the rate of Rs 40 per litre and milk Rs 20 per litre and the prices of other consumables would be slashed. But all hopes have been dashed," he alleged.
He further said, without presenting the budget, the Government has taken anti-people decisions like increasing diesel prices by 50 paise per litre every month and raising the rail fares.
Hooda claimed that during the nine-year tenure of Congress government "Haryana has reached number one position from 14th in terms of development".

Hooda said the farmers are being supplied electricity at the rate of 10 paise per unit whereas the farmers of Gujarat and Rajasthan were being provided power at the rate 26 times more than Haryana.
