Uttar Pradesh was a rich and progressive state but the wrong policies of Akhilesh Yadav government have led to its downfall, Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda today claimed.
He was speaking at the rally of Congress candidate Raj Babbar from Ghaziabad parliamentary constituency held at Ramleela Maidan at Ghaziabad in Rawali area of the district.
Stating that Haryana has become an example of development, Mr Hooda said if UP voters bring Congress to power at the Centre, it will ensure that the state progresses at the same rate.
In an apparent attack on the BJP, Rashtriya Lok Dal leader and Mathura MP Jayant Chowdhury said some parties are indulging in "divisive politics".
He said UP must turn the chants of "Har Har Modi" to "Haar Haar(defeat) Modi".
In his address, Mr Babbar said he has come to reside with the people and not run away after winning the elections.
