Aftab Ahmed, Deputy Leader of the Haryana Congress Legislature Party, said the Congress will raise a host of issues in the budget session.
Ahmed said a few days ago that Congress will raise issues including, "illegal mining, unemployment, law and order, old pension scheme, increasing drug addiction, privatisation of education, allegations against the state minister Sandeep Singh and Parivar Pehchan Patra issue (family id card)."
"We will also raise the issues pertaining to the plight of cow shelters, shortage of electricity, dilapidated condition of roads, demand for permanent jobs for sanitation workers, non-compensation for damage to mustard and wheat crops, imposition of e-tendering on panchayats, etc," he said.
"Congress will seek answers from the government on every issue related to the public interest. The BJP-JJP will have to clarify its position on all its failures. The coalition government cannot run away from its responsibility," he said.
Indian National Lok Dal MLA Abhay Singh Chautala said his party will be raising issues of unemployment, farmers, and law and order in the state during the assembly session.
