Asked if the differences with Hooda were personal or political, Tanwar said, "Differences at some stage turned personal from political..However, I still say that in the interest of the party, I am for resolving the issues."
When asked what was the outcome of those efforts, Tanwar said, "Few things are internal, and I must not open those things. But there are many things you are aware of."
When asked if groupism within the Haryana Congress would affect the party as polls were nearing, he said, "Differences of opinion can be there, which are there in any party, but everyone is moving with the aim of making the party strong."
