Mr. Hooda said the public has no expectations from the upcoming Budget because this government has not done any work except increasing the debt of the State. He added that the law and order situation in the State has deteriorated under the BJP-JJP government. “Criminals are fearless and the public is living under the shadow of fear,” he said.
