The BJP came to power at the Centre and in Haryana on the basis of "lies and deception" and it now wants to retain power by "dividing" people, chief Congress spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala said.

"The BJP has snatched the power on the basis of lies and deception and they now want to retain power by dividing people," he told a meeting of a caste council here last night.

He asked the people to remain vigilant against such efforts.

Rise in fuel prices, imposition of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) and unconstitutional actions of the government have damaged the global perception of India and shaken the confidence of people, he said.

 

He termed the BJP as "anti-farmer" and said its governments had failed to fulfil its promise of increasing minimum support price for farm produce.

Surjewala, who represents Kaithal in the Haryana assembly, appealed to the people to elect a Congress government in the state and at the Centre, and promised all-round development.

He also attacked the INLD.

"Whoever has tried to snatch away farmers right have had to pay dearly. Former CM Om Prakash Chautala (of the INLD) is the prime example. Today Prime Minister Modi and Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar are walking on the same pattern with complete disregard for India's democratic and constitutional laws," he said.

The days of the BJP government in the state are numbered as it has lost the support and confidence of the people, he said.
