3-fold rise in unemployment in Haryana under BJP rule: Deepender Hooda

Congress leader Deepender Singh Hooda said the unemployment rate has increased three-fold in Haryana under BJP rule and slammed the Manohar Lal Khattar government over the "appalling" situation. In a reply to a question in Parliament, Union Minister of State for Labour and Employment Rameswar Teli on Thursday said the unemployment rate in Haryana was 2.9 per cent in 2013-14 (when Congress was in power), which increased to 9.0 per cent in 2021-22, the Congress leader said in a statement here. "If we look at the unemployment rate at the national level, it is 4.1 per cent, which is less than half the unemployment rate in Haryana," Deepender Hooda, son of former Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda, said. "This appalling situation despite the fact that Haryana is surrounded by the national capital from three sides.

6 of 7 Independents support Khattar govt unconditionally: Haryana min

Amid signs of differences between the ruling BJP and ally JJP, Haryana Power Minister Ranjit Singh Chautala has claimed that the support of six of the seven independent MLAs to the Manohar Lal Khattar government remains "unconditional". The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Jannayak Janta Party (JJP) have been non-committal on whether they would contest the assembly elections this year and the 2024 Lok Sabha polls together, and their leaders have taken swipes at each other. Former Tripura Chief Minister and BJP's Haryana affairs in-charge Biplab Kumar Deb had a few days ago held meetings with the independent MLAs, triggering speculation on whether the BJP-JJP coalition will last the entire term of the Khattar government. Chautala, who is also an independent MLA vouched for the support of five others. "Our support is unconditional and for the full five-year term," the minister, whose grandnephew is Deputy Chief Minister and JJP leader Dushyant Chautala, told PTI. The senior Chau
