Congress to bring no-confidence motion against ruling BJP-JJP in Haryana

A no-confidence motion will be brought by the Congress party against the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) -Janayak Janata Party (JJP) government in Haryana on 10 March.

Leader of the Opposition in the Haryana Legislative Assembly Bhupinder Singh Hooda demanded a no-confidence motion on the first day of the budget session, Speaker Gyan Chand Gupta said that Mr. Hooda may move the no-confidence motion on March 10. Which could then be taken up for discussion.

The budget session of the Haryana Legislative Assembly began in Chandigarh on Friday with the address of Governor Satyadev Narayan Arya.

Speaking to reporters outside the House, Mr. Hooda said that the no-confidence motion given by the Congress was approved. “It will be debated on March 10 and it will be known which MLA votes in support of the farmers and who is in support of the anti-farmer government,” he said.

He said that the need to move a no-confidence motion was because the BJP-JJP government had completely lost the confidence of the people. “People have no faith in this government now. The situation has become such that the Chief Minister, the Minister and the MLA are not able to go among the people themselves. The coalition government has emerged as the largest anti-farmer government in the country due to the dictatorial attitude of the government towards the peasant movement.

“The BJP-JJP government has cheated every section of the population including farmers, laborers, laborers, small businesses and the entire working class. From law and order to unemployment, inflation, corruption, the current government has failed on all fronts. In such a situation, all the MLAs should vote against this government and in support of the motion of no confidence.

Mr. Hooda said that the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly rejected the private member’s bill to guarantee the minimum support price to all farmers in the state.
