Former Haryana CM Hooda Lashes At BJP

Following the incident, former Haryana chief minister and senior Congress leader Bhupinder Singh Hooda criticised the ruling BJP. Reacting to the incident, he posted on X: "It is a matter of great concern and anger that the BJP has handed over the people of Haryana to criminals. Criminals are fearlessly committing murders, extortions and robberies."

"There should be quick and strict action against the killers of Ravindra Saini ji," the former chief minister added.

यह बहुत ही चिंता और आक्रोश का विषय है कि भाजपा ने हरियाणा की जनता को अपराधियों के हवाले कर दिया है। बदमाश बेखौफ होकर लगातार हत्या, फिरौती व डकैती की वारदातों को अंजाम दे रहे हैं। हिसार में व्यापारी और JJP नेता रविंद्र सैनी जी की हत्या बीजेपी द्वारा स्थापित दिवालिया कानून व्यवस्था…
