BJP 'liberated' Haryana from 'stigma of corruption and casteism': Minister Singh

Union Minister Jitendra Singh on Monday claimed the BJP has "liberated" Haryana from the "stigma of corruption and casteism" it faced under the previous governments.

Addressing a series of election rallies at different places in Haryana, Singh said before the Manohar Lal Khattar government took charge about five year ago, Haryana was known more for "scams, embezzlements and land grabbing" allegedly by the members of the ruling families at the Centre and the state.

Singh alleged that whichever party came to power, its ministers and members would seek to make a quick fortune by indulging in "loot of state exchequer" and even compete with their predecessors.

This was for the first time that the BJP, under the central leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and party president Amit Shah, gave the people of Haryana the experience of a government which was corruption-free and accountable, he claimed.

The Union Minister for PMO claimed that earlier the elections in Haryana were fought on .
