People will have to go to jail to meet CM if INLD wins: Hooda

On the heels of INLD chief Om Prakash Chautala's rally, Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda today took dig at him saying if he becomes chief minister people of the state will have to go to Tihar prison to meet him.
"Whether the Haryana Cabinet will be formed of prisoners in the Tihar jail? In that case the people will have to go to jail to meet their Chief Minister," he said.
The chief minister also took on the NDA government at the Centre for rise in prices of essential commodities.
"Today everything in the country is costlier and out of reach of the people, be it onion, potato, tomato or sugar. The BJP had promised diesel at Rs 40 per litre.

"Just three months later, the government at the Centre has failed as the prices of all the essential commodities have shot up," Hooda said.
He was addressing a rally at Safidon in favour of Haryana Congress nominee Bachan Singh Arya.

Taking a dig at the Centre, the chief minister said those in power used to claim-- during the Lok Sabha polls campaigning-- that they will tackle the Chinese intrusion in the Indian territory with ease.
"What is happening now. Why the people who made such noises in the past are silent now. The farmers are suffering as the prices of pesticides have doubled in the recent past. Labourers in the country are the worst sufferers," he said.

Hooda claimed that he had served the state with all sincerity and honesty and the results were there for everyone to see in the form of numerous development works.
He also said that the BJP has failed to declare its Chief Ministerial candidate for Haryana, while the INLD was talking of running the government from jail.
