Ahead of BJP's First Year in Haryana, Congress Readies Performance Review

Mr Khattar would address a press conference in Chandigarh on Tuesday.

Chandigarh: The BJP will complete its first year in power in Haryana next week and the Congress says it is preparing a "question paper" for the government's performance review.

The first-ever BJP government in Haryana's nearly 50-year history led by Manohar Lal Khattar is planning to celebrate the occasion with pomp and show. The Khattar government has planned a publicity blitzkrieg that includes organising public functions in all districts between October 21 to November 1.

Mr Khattar would address a press conference in Chandigarh on Tuesday to formally start the programme. A book highlighting the achievements of the BJP government during the past one year is also slated to be released.

Ahead of the occasion, former Chief Minister and Congress leader Bhupinder Singh Hooda today said that a "question paper" assessing its performance in the state was being prepared. Mr Hooda said the questions which will be raised in this paper will mostly pertain to the promises made by the BJP in its manifesto before the Assembly polls last year.

"The BJP had made 154 promises to the people and this question paper is being prepared from these only," the senior Congress leader said, adding that the document will be released any time after October 26.

In a statement in Chandigarh, Mr Hooda accused the Khattar government of failing to deliver on the "tall promises" it had made to the people before the Assembly polls.

Mr Khattar and other cabinet ministers of the state will be chief guests at the public functions to be organised in various districts during this period. In this regard, a written communication was recently issued from the office of Chief Secretary to all Divisional Commissioners and Deputy Commissioners, an official spokesperson said.

The chief minister is scheduled to be the chief guest in the public functions to be organised in Narnaul on October 21, in Kaithal on October 24 and in Sirsa on October 25.
