Ambala, Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Monday took a dig at the Congress over its Lok Sabha election manifesto, saying that the party which used to do injustice to the people while in power, is now talking about justice.

“Congress released its manifesto two days ago and said they will give justice… The country has not forgotten the time when Congress was in power and people had to stand in queues for three days to get LPG cylinders.

Saini said, "It was injustice to the people of the country. And now they are talking about 'justice'."

Addressing an election rally in Mulana of the district, he said that it is Prime Minister Narendra Modi who has done the work of ending that queue and providing justice and now the gas cylinder has reached every house.

He said the Congress, which ruled the country for more than five decades, was not resorting to giving "guarantees" but people were "not buying their false guarantees".

The Congress manifesto focuses on the emotive issue of reservation and the party's revamped theme of "justice" for different sections of the society.

The Congress' emphasis is on five "pillars of justice" and 25 guarantees under the theme of "justice" for youth, women, farmers, workers and the underprivileged.

Further attacking Congress, Saini said that one family and one party (Congress ruled the country for 55 years but it did nothing for the country and the common man.

He claimed that now people are disillusioned with Congress.

He said that Prime Minister Modi took a bold decision like removing Article 370 from the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir.

On this occasion, BJP candidate from Ambala parliamentary seat Banto Kataria and Haryana Transport Minister Aseem Goyal were also present.
