CHANDIGARH: Reportedly cautious with the approach taken by the Congress and INLD in pre-election year, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar has asked party leaders to get into election mode. In the first review meeting held by the CM, leaders from 17 Assembly segments from over four districts - Gurugram, Kaithal, Sonepat, and Rewari - were present. Khattar encouraged the leaders to send him a list of pending projects, in a bid to address concerns of party leaders and MLAs, assuring to expedite the work on priority basis.
“I have made around 3,600 announcements concerning development works. Work on about 65 per cent of these has been completed and is in progress with respect to the rest,” he asserted. BJP media in charge, Rajiv Jain said the party would hold similar feedback sessions at regular intervals in a way to gear up party organisations for next year's Lok Sabha and Assembly elections. Meanwhile, Khattar urged party leaders to make the electorate aware of development projects initiated by the Central and state governments.
Political activity in Haryana has speeded, with the INLD gearing up for a Delhi rally on the SYL issue on March 7, and Bhupinder Singh Hooda and Ashok Tanwar factions of the Congress announcing programmes to highlight various acts of omission and commission of the BJP government.
