"They were sent behind the bars (Om Prakash Chautala and his MLA son Ajay) for their ill practises. Now, their family (Abhay and other) members are indulging in making false accusations just to save their image," Hooda said while addressing a series of public meetings in Hisar Lok Sabha constituency.
They have been going around saying that the Congress party or I was responsible for sending them to jail, he said.
Hooda said that Chautalas have nothing to say, therefore, "they were indulging in these false accusations."
Referring to JBT scam in the state 15 years ago, in which the former Chief Minister Chautala and his son were serving jail term, Hooda said, the case was investigated by the CBI during their own (INLD's) tenure.
"During those days, there was NDA government at the Centre (NDA) supported by them. If I had to send them to jail, I would not have waited for eight long years but would have done it promptly," the Haryana CM said.
He appealed the people to maintain this phase of development in the larger interest of the future generations.
