- Congress leader Deependra Singh Hooda said that the situation in Haryana is against the BJP and change is definite in the state.
- Hooda said, “The situation in the state (Haryana) is against BJP, change is definite in the state. BJP government has lost the majority. Among the list of 48 MLAs they had given, few MLAs have resigned because they are fighting the Lok Sabha election and some independent MLAs withdrew their support to BJP and have extended their support to Congress. So the minority MLAs have no right.”
