**Five seats have come, yet they talk about vote theft, in fact the public taught them a lesson
After the meeting, while interacting with the media in his office at the Secretariat, Cabinet Minister Mr. Ranbir Gangwa took a jibe at the Congress while answering a question. He said that the Congress is still chanting the slogan of vote theft. If votes were stolen, then how did they get five seats. There is no option left but to mislead their people.
They should understand that in reality the public has responded to their actions. Mr. Gangwa said that the Congress has been continuously misleading the people. During the Lok Sabha elections, they had said that if the BJP government is formed for the third time, they will change the Constitution. The politics of scaring the people by spreading such rumors will not work anymore.
On a question related to the memo submitted by the Congress to the Governor regarding Haryana, Mr. Gangwa said that the Congress's hand with the poor is only for show. When the BPL card was made, they said where did so many poor people come from, now when some names have been cut when the income has increased, we have an objection.
Farmers are now remembering what they were doing when the lands of farmers were being looted under their rule. Jobs were sold, then their eyes were closed. He said that the BJP government has worked on the strength of transparency, accountability and public trust.
