CHANDIGARH: The Haryana Chief Minister, Bhupinder Singh Hooda, has directed the officials to repair the roads of Gurgaon city within six months. He was addressing a meeting of Congress workers of Gurgaon and Faridabad Lok Sabha constituencies at Gurgaon over the weekend.

He said a Central University would be opened at Mahendergarh and a Defence University would be set up at Gurgaon. A Sainik School would be opened in the Rewari district.

Mr. Hooda thanked the Prime Minister for sanctioning the institutes for the upliftment of southern Haryana. The fact that two new districts of Palwal and Mewat were created by the present Congress Government was also a step in the same direction, he said.

Mr. Hooda stressed on the need to make the workers feel proud of their party’s government in the State. “Elections are won on the strength of the workers,” he said while referring to his own experience as a block level worker. This evoked a thunderous applause from the workers who had outnumbered the capacity of the venue.

The Chief Minister also used the occasion to send a warning to the government officers who ignored the workers coming to their offices for redressal of public grievances. He directed them to pay due regard to the workers. He expressed confidence that Congress would comfortably win both Gurgaon and Faridabad seats.

Congress general secretary and in charge of Haryana, Margaret Alva appealed the party workers to strengthen the party. They should should follow the ideology and principles of the party and gear up for the coming Lok Sabha election, she said.
