He said, what to speak of developments in the state BJP government has failed to bring SYL canal water in the state, which is lifeline for farmers in Haryana state in-spite of Supreme Court of India decision in favour of Haryana. On the other hand, former MP Deepender Hooda strongly condemned Khatter’s statement claiming 101 developmental announcements in the state in past 100 days.

He said, ruling government has given paddy scam worth crores of rupees exposed in the state recently and sheltering all those involved in corruption
