Unfazed by the Opposition’s attacks over allegedly favouring Robert Vadra in land deals, Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda on Monday took on his detractors wondering why they have not approached the Lokayukta or the courts.
‘I have not favoured anybody. It is all false propaganda,’ he said.
Hooda, who is hoping to win assembly elections for the third time, also took on the Centre over the demand for substantial raise in Minimum Support Prices of paddy and wheat that has not found favour with the Narendra Modi government.
‘I am holding a constitutional post. I cannot do what Arvind Kejriwal did as Delhi Chief Minister (by going on a dharna). But I can take any stern step for the cause of farmers,’ he said without elaborating.
Hooda told PTI that he had written to Prime Minister over the plight of wheat and paddy growers in the state and had sought substantial hike but the government has rejected his demand.
To questions about the campaign launched by the BJP that he had allegedly benefited the son-in-law of Sonia Gandhi, he remarked, ‘I have not favoured anybody. I have not allotted even an inch of land to any builder. It is all false propaganda.
