New Delhi: The Congress Saturday said it will raise suicides by farmers and “pro-people” issues such as corruption and loss of jobs in the assembly polls next month that the governments in Maharashtra and Haryana are trying to deflect.

The opposition party claimed the government is on its way out due to “slowdown and lockdown”.

Soon after the Election Commission announced the election schedule in Maharashtra and Haryana, Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera welcomed it and said the party is completely ready to contest the polls.

He said the people in Jharkhand were also looking forward to polls in their state. “But when polls in three states cannot be held simultaneously, the government talks about One Nation, One Poll,” he said.

Khera said the Congress will raise “pro-people” issues that the governments in Maharashtra and Haryana are trying to deviate from. “Lakhs of sugarcane farmers are sitting on Delhi’s border to demand their dues. What about them,” he asked, referring to farmers from Uttar Pradesh who were on their way to Kisan Ghat in Delhi, demanding sugarcane dues, loan waivers and cheap electricity.

Khera said the Congress will also raise the issue of loss of 15 lakh jobs and Rs 20 lakh crore in stock market in the last three months. “We will also ask that on one hand you have held a former union minister (Chidambaram) in custody while you are protecting your former minister,” he said, in an apparent reference to allegations of rape levelled against BJP leader Chinmayanand.

Khera said the issue of suicide by farmers has become very serious in Maharashtra. “The issue has become so serious that the people of Maharashtra are looking forward to remove this government,” he claimed.

He said in Haryana, the Congress will raise the issues of disruption of law and order and rise in corruption. Answering a question, Khera took a swipe at the ‘Howdy! Modi’ event in Houston, US.

“Fifteen lakh people who lost their jobs and farmers sitting at Delhi’s border want him (Prime Minister Narendra Modi) to respond to them but he will go to Houston and tell the people there ‘Howdy Modi’. It is the people of India that have elected him, not the US,” he added.

Congress spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala, in a video, said the people of Haryana and Maharashtra are looking forward to remove the BJP government.

“Congress will win in both these two states. The BJP government is now recognised by slowdown and lockdown. The current government is a capitalist government that has been made by capitalists and run by capitalists. People have decided to defeat this government and they will get a befitting reply to it in the upcoming elections,” Surjewala said.

Earlier, Election Commission of India announced that bypolls to 64 Assembly seats in 17 states and one Union Territory will be held October 21 and the results will be declared October 24.

The poll panel announced the schedule for Assembly bye-elections to 15 seats in Karnataka, 11 seats in Uttar Pradesh, five seats each in Kerala and Bihar, four seats each in Gujarat, Assam and Punjab, three seats in Sikkim, two seats each in Himachal Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Rajasthan and one seat each in Arunachal Pradesh, Telangana, Madhya Pradesh, Meghalaya, Odisha and Puducherry.

The EC said the notification for the bye-elections will be released September 23.

The last date for filing nominations is September 30, it said, adding that the scrutiny of the nomination papers will be done by October 1.

“The last date of withdrawal of candidature is October 3 and the date before which the election should be completed is October 27,” the EC said.
