Amit Shah Attacks Haryana's Former Chief Ministers Over Regional Bias

Amit Shah said the Bhupinder Singh Hooda-led Congress government was marked by corruption and also hit out at the Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) regime led by Om Prakash Chautala, without taking his name.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday said the Manohar Lal Khattar government had curbed corruption and lawlessness in Haryana, and accused the previous chief ministers of favouring their own regions.

He said the Bhupinder Singh Hooda-led Congress government was marked by corruption and also hit out at the Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) regime led by Om Prakash Chautala, without taking his name.

Mr Shah said, "Remember Haryana eight years before. When one government was formed, corruption used to be rampant and during another government's time 'goondaism' (hooliganism) used to rise.

"But the Khattar government did not allow corruption and ended 'goondaism'." Addressing a Jan Utthan rally, Mr Shah said the Khattar government had worked to change Haryana during its eight years and added that a long time after Independence, the state had got a chief minister who worked for its all-round development.
