Besides, complaints of favoritism in jobs, alleged irregularities in various recruitments, including JBT teachers, issue of compensation to farmers, Kundli-Manesar- Palwal expressway were also among the problems which the present regime "inherited" which had consumed much time of the incumbent to set things in order, he said.
"It has taken us maximum time to set right the maladies and mess created by the previous government," he said.
