Regional parties have vested interests: Hooda

CHANDIGARH: Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda on Friday said that the people of Haryana had already rejected regional parties as these “neither have any policy nor last long”.

Talking to newsmen at his residence here, Mr. Hooda said the regional parties had vested interests and were narrow-minded. The people were aware of the fate of regional parties in Haryana and other States like Karnataka, he added.

Haryana Pradesh Congress Committee president Phool Chand Mullana said a report about the announcement made by suspended Congress MP Kuldip Bishnoi to form a new party had been sent to the Congress high command for “appropriate action”.

He said none of the Congress MLAs who formed the new party had so far resigned from the parent party. “How can a person be a member of two political parties?” he asked.
