Villagers Confront BJP MLA Over Unfulfilled Promises Amid Water Supply Protest in Chanot
In Chanot village, Hisar district, villagers have been protesting for ten days over delays in the Rs 68-crore Bhakra Canal water project, demanding a direct drinking water connection. During a visit, BJP MLA Vinod Bhayana faced criticism as residents listed 12 alleged unfulfilled promises, including lack of development funds and infrastructure issues. Bhayana acknowledged the concerns but said the matter was not directly under his jurisdiction and pledged to raise it with the government. Protesters warned they would oppose him in future elections if demands remain unmet.
