Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda today said Congress MP Rao Inderjit Singh would repent his decision to leave the party.
"He (Rao Inderjit) is a friend...Whatever decision he takes, he will repent in future...His decision will be incorrect," Hooda said while reacting over Singh's recent assertion that he will not contest the next election on a Congress ticket.
On being pressed whether he will placate Rao Inderjit, Hooda retorted that requests are made to those who are angry.
"He didn't approach me...There is no official intimation whether he (Rao Inderjit) had left the Congress," he said.
Tracing the long history of Congress, Hooda said "those who left the party had later returned."
Asked whether Congress' base will be weakened due to Rao's possibility of leaving the party, he said Congress is a huge party and "whatever position Rao had attained today was due to his link with Congress."
Rubbishing allegations of discrimination with south Haryana, Hooda said "entire state was equal for him."
On September 23 at Rewari, Gurgaon Congress MP Rao Inderjit Singh, who was recently in the limelight for demanding a probe into land deals of Robert Vadra, said he was bidding goodbye to "Congress politics".
