In run up to the Assembly polls, the BJP has promised two lakh government jobs, 10 industrial towns, a guarantee of government jobs for Agniveers, and a full scholarship for Scheduled Caste and Other Backward Class students at government medical and engineering colleges.Targeting the Congress, he said the governments led by it “from 2004 to 2014 saw ‘parchi-kharchi’.The BJP government abolished this system of kharchi-parchi and gave 1.5 lakh government jobs with transparency”.The BJP has been attacking the Congress over the kharchi-parchi system (corruption-favouritism) allegedly prevalent in earlier regimes of the grand old party.The BJP, the chief minister said, is also doing more for farmers as it is giving MSP for 24 crops.”The Congress has governments in so many states, but not even one state gives MSP on 24 crops like we are giving,” Saini said.Asked about BJP rebels who are contesting as independents after being denied ticket, Saini said, “We tried to convince all of them, some agreed, while some are still in fray. It is an individual call. I do not feel it is going to impact our tally”.Saini was here in support of incumbent MLA and former minister Om Prakash Yadav.The 90-member Haryana Assembly is scheduled to go to polls on October 5 and the counting of votes will be taken up on October 8.While the BJP is aiming for a hat-trick this time, the Congress is aiming to come back to power in Haryana after a 10-year hiatus.
