BJP govt made only hollow promises: Naina Chautala

Attacking the BJP Government in the State, opposition INLD MLA Naina Chautala today alleged that the saffron party had made "hollow promises" to the people and had "failed" on various fronts.
Participating in a discussion on the Governor's address in the ongoing budget session of Haryana Assembly, the Dabwali MLA also hit out at the Manohar Lal Khattar government on women's issues.
"The BJP just made hollow promises to the people..," she alleged.
"They failed on various fronts," she claimed.
Naina Chautala, wife of INLD leader Ajay Singh Chautala, made a mention of how a 22-year-old woman who had given birth to a child recently, was allegedly sexually assaulted in the ICU of a private hospital at Bahadurgarh in Haryana's Jhajjar district last month.

"Women are still not safe and secure. This sexual assault on the young mother was shameful...In another incident, a 70-year-old woman in Rohtak was recently booked on false charge of theft, and police realised this later on, but the damage had been done. While such incidents are happening, the government is sitting like a mute spectator," she alleged.

She urged the state government to take steps to empower women, give them a safe and secure environment, "if it does not want initiatives like Beti Bachao-Beti Padhao to be reduced to mere one-line slogans".
Participating in the discussion, BJP MLA Randhir Kapriwas read out a poem to highlight various initiatives of the BJP led Khattar government.

BSP's lone MLA Tek Chand Sharma praised various initiatives of the BJP Government, particularly those taken for the farming community.
Among others who participated in the discussion on the Governor's Address also included BJP's Assem Goel and Gian Chand Gupta.
Earlier during the Zero Hour, BJP's Shyam Singh Rana told the House that he had recently covered over 120 km on foot for his 'Sadbhavna Yatra' which he had taken out from his Radaur constituency to give a message of brotherhood among people.
While ruling BJP benches appreciated his initiative, his effort also drew praise from the opposition INLD, with Leader of Opposition Abhay Singh Chautala stating that even he too had held "sadbhavna meetings" in all the 21 districts.
