Two INLD MLAs had decided not to vote in the Rajya Sabha elections in Haryana. The reaction of senior Congress leader and former CM Bhupendra Singh Hooda has come to light on this. He alleged that INLD MLAs had decided to vote for the BJP supported candidate but at the last moment when they came to know that Congress’s victory was certain, INLD MLAs decided not to vote.
When Congress leader Bhupendra Singh Hooda was asked, INLD had said that it had taken the decision not to vote after taking opinion from its supporters. On this, Hooda said, “First he said he will hold a press conference at 3 o’clock, then he said he will hold a press conference at 3:30.” When at the last moment he saw that the Congress candidate was winning, he said that he would not go now. Congress was getting 32 votes. There is nothing left behind them. They have two MLAs in 90. Earlier there was one, now there are two. Will become zero in future.
INLD once again expressed in the Rajya Sabha elections that it will never oppose BJP. Therefore, this time also he had decided to vote for the BJP supported candidate. But at the last moment, when it became known that Congress’s victory was certain, INLD stayed away from voting. pic.twitter.com/63T6n5tpu1

What did Bhupendra Hooda say about the LPG crisis?
Bhupendra Hooda has also reacted to the LPG crisis amid the Iran-Israel war. He said, “Iran-Israel war is going on. Meanwhile, there has been a lack of confidence among the people. It is the job of the government to build people’s confidence. They give statements that there is no shortage of LPG gas or if there is a shortage then clarify. Due to stoppage of supply of commercial cylinders at many places, hotels, restaurants and other small and big gas based businesses have been closed or badly affected. On one hand the government says that there is no shortage then why is there a long queue. He also demanded a ban on black marketing of LPG gas cylinders.
