Tohana (Haryana), May 22
The MP from the Sirsa Lok Sabha constituency, former Union Minister and Congress Working Committee (CWC) Member, Kumari Selja heard public grievances during the fourth day of her constituency tour in Tohana and issued directions to concerned officials for resolving the issues raised by residents. On the occasion, Congress MLA Parmveer Singh and several senior party leaders and workers were also present. Selja alleged that every section of society was suffering due to the “wrong policies and anti-people decisions” of the present government. She claimed that youth were facing discrimination, farmers and traders were under economic pressure, and common citizens were burdened by inflation and administrative failures. She said the impact of the government’s failures was now directly visible in the daily lives of people.
Referring to rising prices of LPG, petrol and diesel, Selja alleged that the public had already suffered because of inflation and long queues outside petrol pumps and gas agencies. She further claimed that people were now facing difficulties withdrawing their own money from banks due to cash shortages and long queues. Selja said the situation reflected the failure of the government’s economic policies and administrative system. She said farmers were struggling for basic agricultural requirements such as fertilisers, seeds and cash, while traders were facing slowdown and economic uncertainty. She also alleged that youth were frustrated because of unemployment and lack of transparency in recruitment processes.
Selja said the government has failed on every front and public trust is continuously weakening. Selja said unemployment and inflation had become major concerns for the country’s youth and middle-class families. She accused the government of focusing more on publicity than addressing ground-level problems. She added that the Congress party would continue to raise the issues of farmers, youth, traders and common citizens, and urged the government to ensure availability of cash in banks, control inflation and create employment opportunities for young people.
