Mr. Hooda said that the last Plan budget of the previous government led by Mr. Om Parkash Chautala in the state was Rs. 2200 crore. As compared to it, the present Congress government would spend more than this as its share to connect Faridabad and Ballabhgarh with metro. He said that MP Mr. Avtar Singh Badhana and Ms. Sharda Rathore had repeatedly stressed the need to connect Ballabhgarh with metro. Metro is necessary for Ballabhgarh to give full benefit of metro to Faridabad and Palwal. While the work for Faridabad project is in progress, for Ballabhgarh the work of metro would commence before Lok Sabha elections.

As a result of it the state would emerge as an education hub of international standard. 

MP Mr. Avtar Singh Badhana assured Mr. Hooda that the way he has upheld the dignity of the people of Faridabad by ensuring all around development, the people would make Congress victorious in all the nine assembly constituencies in the ensuing Assembly elections.
