The Dalits of Haryana will ask that after opposing reservation, with what face has he come to Haryana? The farmers of Haryana will ask him that after giving their lands to Damads, how is he talking about their rights? The women of Haryana will ask, after giving promises to Himachal, why doesn’t he go there? Rahul Gandhi should answer all these questions.”Haryana will go to the polls on October 5 to elect its 90-member state legislative assembly, with counting set to take place on October 8.
