Congress Rajya Sabha member Deepender Hooda on Sunday said he himself and the people of Rohtak were the BJP’s target because the result of Rohtak Lok Sabha seat would not just elect a Member of Parliament but also pave the way for the change of government in the State.
“The Rohtak (Lok Sabha) seat is on BJP’s target. I am on their target and you, the people of Rohtak, are also on the target. I was on their target last time as well. It is because the result of this seat will not only decide an MP but I want to assure you that when the Congress wins this seat with your blessings, it will go on to make the new government at the State,” said Mr. Hooda, who had lost the Rohtak Parliamentary seat to BJP’s Arvind Sharma by a whisker in 2019.
Former Deputy Chief Minister Dushyant Chautala, too, had blamed the split in BJP-JJP alliance over his party’s reluctance to contest the Rohtak Lok Sabha seat, a Hooda bastion. It is likely to be one of the most keenly-contested seats in upcoming Lok Sabha polls.
