Aam Aadmi Party today claimed that Manohar Lal Khattar government has failed on all fronts after taking over the reins of the state.
Though AAP's plan to ghearo the Haryana Assembly on the opening day of its monsoon session here today was foiled by police, party supporters held a protest a few kilometres away from the assembly complex.
Hitting out at the BJP government in the state, the AAP alleged it has failed to fulfill the promises it had made to people before coming to power.
"The BJP had made tall promises to the people of Haryana but it failed to fulfill these after it took over the reins of the state. During our protest today, we highlighted how this government has failed on various fronts, including law and order, power and unemployment. They are only playing politics over cow issue," AAP's senior leader in the state Naveen Jaihind said.
He also alleged that Opposition parties in the state have also been unable to corner the government over "burning issues".
AAP had not fought the 2014 assembly polls in Haryana where the ruling BJP enjoys a majority.
"When we raise our voice, like we tried to do during our protest here today, we are stopped. Despite protesting in a peaceful manner, we had to face lathicharge and water canons from the police. Many of our workers were detained by the police," Jaihind said.
Police said around 120-130 activists of the AAP were detained at the Sector 39 police station but were released later.
