Monsoon session of Haryana Assembly likely to be stormy

The monsoon session of Haryana Assembly, starting here from Friday, is likely to be stormy with opposition INLD and BJP ready to take on ruling Congress on alleged land scams, law and order and development issues.
"We will raise the government's land scams including Robert Vadra's land deals. Law and order has collapsed in Haryana and incidents of rape and murder have become a common thing," principal opposition party Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) state unit chief and Thanesar MLA, Ashok Arora said.
"Other issues like delay in availability of free textbooks in government schools, water and power shortage, favouritism in jobs, regional bias in development and fiscal mis-management of Hooda government will also be raised," he said.

Arora said, INLD will also highlight the issue of senior IAS officer Ashok Khemka's voluminous reply to state government's three-member inquiry committee to look into the Vadra-DLF land deal, even as senior BJP leader Anil Vij said his party will demand the report be tabled in the House.
"Recently some farmers protested and sought permission from the government to sell organs and pay off their loans. We will raise their plight in the coming session," Vij said.
Both opposition leaders said their parties would be demanding a longer duration of the session as vital issues could not raised in a short span.

Meanwhile, the ruling Congress will try to blunt the opposition attack by listing a number of achievements of both the state and UPA government at the Centre.
Hooda government is also likely to bring a legislation during the session on rehabilitating several Sikh farmers of Kurukshetra and Kaithal, who have to vacate their land they had tilled for nearly six decades, as their lease had expired.
Congress is also in a mood to counter INLD attacks in the Assembly, with the House Committee looking into allegations of land given to various trusts in the name of Chautala clan, likely to submit its report during the monsoon session.
