Gurugram, Sept. 25 -- The Congress on Wednesday staged a protest in Farrukhnagar against the BJP government over crumbling roads and collapsing sanitation.
Leading the protest, district president (rural) Vardhan Yadav along with a large crowd at Daboda Morh, accused the ruling party of "betraying the very people whose votes it stole" and said life in villages had been reduced to "a state worse than hell."

Protest convenor Sukhbir Tanwar said more than 80% of roads in Gurugram district were in poor condition, with rural stretches in "pathetic shape."
Residents alleged that repeated complaints to municipal officials had yielded only assurances.
