• Despite being in power for 8 years, BJP govt never made any serious effort to get SYL water to Haryana: Hooda
September 6, Chandigarh: Former Chief Minister and Leader of Opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda today reacted to the Sutlej Yamuna Link (SYL) case between Punjab and Haryana, saying that the Supreme Court has already given the final verdict in favour of Haryana. Therefore, the Haryana government should file a contempt in case for disobeying the orders of the Supreme Court of india. Haryana will not leave even a single drop of water from its rightful share.
He said that there is no point in the meeting now as the Supreme Court has already given its final verdict on giving water to Haryana. “The Central Government and Punjab Government have to comply and Haryana Government should make efforts for to ensure that it happens. We have met everyone from the Chief Minister to the former President, on the issue. Despite the decision of the Supreme Court in favour of Haryana and an all-party meeting to asking the Chief Minister to seek time from the Prime Minister, the government never took concrete steps towards getting water to the state. On the SYL issue, I had clearly stated in the Legislative Assembly that the Haryana government should file a case of disobeying the Supreme Court’s decision,” he said.
Hooda added that the present BJP government has always had a casual attitude towards the interests of Haryana. “If BJP was really serious about getting water for Haryana, the state would have got SYL water by now. The present government, despite being in power for eight years, never made any serious effort to get SYL water to Haryana,” he stated.
The Leader of Opposition said that instead of fulfilling its responsibility regarding SYL, BJP is only doing political drama. “The Hansi-Butana canal was built during the Congress government, but the BJP government did not make any effort to bring water to it. On the contrary, the Dadupur Nalvi canal built by our government has been covered,” he added.
