Meanwhile, Congress leaders allege ruling BJP government in Haryana state playing politics on Corona virus. Both Randeep Singh Surjewala and Deepender Hooda senior Congress leaders strongly condemned ruling BJP-JJP alliance government in Haryana state for playing party politics at the times when entire world as well as country is facing corona virus threat. Surjewala said, Haryana state government has issued licenses to distilleries in the state for manufacturing hand sanitizers having heavy demand in the country at present being sold in black market as well as manufactured illegally at places.

Surjewala said, it is surprising that photographs of both Manohar Lal Khatter Chief Minister and Dushyant Chautala Deputy Chief Minister in the state have been inserted on hand sanitizer bottles  probably to attract party publicity as if poll promotion for a political party is going on. Hooda said, it is time to impart services to people by the government at this crucial time when entire country is facing epidemic outbreak, not to attract personal publicity as if a poll promotion going on, which has adversely affected not only public faith in the government but also damaged party’s image
