Dulhera (Jhajjar)
The Congress victory in Gurdaspur byelection is a clear indication that people are fed up with ‘jumla sarkar’ of the BJP, said media in charge of the party Randeep Singh Surjewala here today.

He claimed that people wanted change because Narendra Modi government had done nothing except deceiving them in the garb of false promises.

Surjewala was speaking at a public meeting organised by Deepak Deswal, district president of Congress Kisan Sangh, in Dulhera village.

He said the time of Modi era of ‘jumlebaazi’ and Manohar Lal Khattar era of ‘khokhle vaade’ had ended and people were waiting to show them the door.

“Modi and Khattar have betrayed farmers, labour force, backward classes and the youth by not fulfilling any poll promise. All sections of society wish to see a change,” Surjewala said.

“People are looking up to the Congress and Rahul Gandhi for giving them full support in the next Lok Sabha and Assembly elections,” he claimed.

Terming denotification of the Dadupur-Nalvi canal project as a conspiracy against farmers, Surjewala said surplus Yamuna water was planned to be used through the canal.

“The project could have benefited 3 lakh hectares in Yamunanagar, Kurukshetra and Ambala districts and proved instrumental in recharging the depleting water table,” he asserted.
