Moving the no-confidence motion in Assembly, ex-CM and Leader of Opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda said: “More than 250 farmers have died on the border. I presented their names but I didn't find it in the newspaper.”


“This government has lost the trust of the people. The CM is not allowed to land his chopper. Farmers from across the country are protesting. Haryana tried to stop farmers and used water cannons, tear gas against them,” he said in the Haryana Assembly on Wednesday morning.

Criticising the Khattar government of farmers' issues, Hooda added, “Farmers are protesting as the government did not fulfil their poll promises. JJP promised MSP and a 10 per cent bonus. BJP promised that farmers’ income will be doubled. The production cost of crops is rising the MSP is not even able to meet the cost of production.”
