Bhupinder Singh Hooda Criticizes BJP's Sugarcane Price Hike, Highlights Congress Record
Former Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda criticized the BJP government's recent Rs 15 increase in sugarcane procurement price, calling it insufficient amid rising inflation. Hooda highlighted that during the Congress tenure (2005-2014), sugarcane prices rose significantly more, with an average annual increase of about 18.3%, compared to 3.25% under the BJP. He also noted the Congress's 'Save Vote, Save the Nation' campaign is gaining support in Haryana, amid concerns over alleged vote theft by the BJP ahead of the 2029 elections.
