Electioneering for the municipal polls in Rewari has witnessed the rise of the political scions of prominent leaders owing allegiance to the ruling as well as opposition parties.
While Union minister Rao Inderjit Singh’s daughter and Haryana Health Minister Arti Singh Rao is leading the BJP’s campaign, former Haryana minister Capt Ajay Singh Yadav’s son and former Rewari MLA Chiranjeev Rao is spearheading the Congress assault.
Both Arti and Chiranjeev are holding public meetings, roadshows and outreach drives to seek votes and support for the candidates of their respective parties.
Arti has made the creation of a ‘triple-engine’ regime her main poll plank. She lists the establishment of AIIMS at Majra village in Rewari district, construction of Rewari bypass and launch of new bus-stand
projects at Rewari, Dharuhera and Kosli as the major achievements of the BJP regime.
“BJP’s backing is necessary to ensure the development of the city, provision of better facilities and installtion of a strong leadership,” she asserts as she appeals to the electors to vote in favour of Rewari Municipal Council chief aspirant Vinita Pippla, Dharuhera Municipal Committee head candidate Ajay Jangra and other BJP nominees.
Maintaining that facilities like CT scans, X-rays, ultrasounds and AI-based health ATMs have been provided at the district hospitals, the Health Minister points out that before the formation of the BJP
government, nearly 2.5 lakh patients went to the OPDs of the government hospitals in the district, while now, this number has risen to nearly 10 lakh.
On the other hand, former Rewari MLA Chiranjiv Rao has launched a scathing attack on the BJP government.
“The residents of Rewari will never forget how they have been grappling with rampant corruption at the local Municipal Council under the BJP regime,” he says.
Chiranjeev alleges that the ruling party has only misled the people in the name of development, while the pressing concerns of the city remain unaddressed.
Seeking votes and support for Congress candidate for the post of chairperson of Rewari Municipal Council Neharika Chaudhary, president of Dharuhera Municipal Committee Kumari Raj and the party’s nominees for the posts of municipal councillors, he promises to get the stalled developmental works completed promptly and honestly.
