Hitting out at former Chief Minister Om Parkash Chautala, he said, "Chautala is in jail today because of his wrong deeds." The Chief Minister also attacked BJP, saying, "BJP's policy of lies and betrayal too had been exposed."
When asked about the leaders who quit Congress in Haryana recently to join other outfits, Mr Hooda said only those leaders left the party at the last moment who had lost their base.
He said before the 2009 Assembly polls, one of the tallest leaders of the state, Bhajan Lal, quit Congress to form a new party. But still, the Congress retained power in the state, he added.
On the question of equitable distribution of water in the state, Mr Hooda said the Hansi-Butana canal was ready, adding that "some people who were in league with Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal were working against the interest of the state and not allowing canal water to reach Haryana."
On the question of Dera Sacha Sauda's political wing extending support to the BJP, he said the Dera is a social organisation, not a political entity.
