Overview
- Congress leader Kumari Selja said on Tuesday that corruption in Haryana has grown sharply, citing a 78.48% rise in corruption-related cases over five years and placing the state seventh nationally.
- Selja called for impartial investigations into corruption cases, urged strict action against officials found guilty, and pledged continued political pressure on the issue.
- On Monday, Randeep Singh Surjewala alleged pervasive irregularities across government schemes and accused the BJP administration of enabling mining, cheating, paper-leak, and drug networks.
- Both leaders referenced a reported plea to seek euthanasia by a resident troubled by graft, presented as an example of public distress rather than a verified case.
- The reports attribute the 78.48% figure to NCRB data as cited by Congress and note no immediate response from the BJP in the coverage, with PTI inputs reflected in the articles.
