Sharma categorically ruled out forging alliance or giving support to Congress after the assembly polls.
“There is no question of giving support or re-joining the Congress after the polls,” he said on being asked about his possibility to return to the Congress fold.
He lashed out at the ten years of Congress regime in Haryana saying that young deserving people were kept away from jobs.
“The Congress government was not transparent in providing jobs to youths…there was regional bias in providing employment and development of Haryana,” Sharma said.
When asked whether he can support the BJP after the polls, he evaded a direct reply saying “in politics nothing is permanent.”
He, however, said that there was lot of anger and resentment among people against the present Congress government in Haryana.
“It is a writing on wall that the Congress is going to perform even worse than Lok Sabha polls in the upcoming assembly elections in the state,” Sharma said.
In the recent Lok Sabha polls, ruling Congress’ tally fell from nine seats to one out of the total ten.
He castigated the Bhupinder Singh Hooda government for giving extension to certain officers and making appointments on some seats in the past six months.
“These extensions and appointments were done for political considerations,” Sharma added.
He said that he would fight for more than 35 per cent reservation to women and against corruption.
When his attention was drawn towards Bishnoi’s absence today even as Sharma was present when the HJC head announced the list of candidates yesterday, the veteran politician said “Bishnoi is busy today as he is filing his nominations.”
Haryana is going to polls on October 15 and tomorrow is the last date for filing of nominations.
