Haryana CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda vows not to share dais With PM Narendra Modi - ET
Not sure if this is good or bad...
Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda on Tuesday vowed not to take part in anymore public functions where Prime Minister Narendra Modi would be present after he was booed and jeered by the crowd during the foundation laying ceremony of a highway in Kaithal.
Modi was the chief guest at the function. Hooda, who was shouted down by the crowd while he was reading out his speech, called the incident a conspiracy hatched by the Bharatiya Janata Party. "This is the tactic played by BJP in other states as well. We were following the protocol.
If they have to resort to such cheap tactics, there is no point in attending such rallies. I will never go to another function of the PM again," Hooda told reporters after the event.
Modi in his speech said, "I know Haryana the way I know Gujarat. This is my first visit to the state after forming the government. I know the people of Haryana have a great sense of humour. I thank you for all your affection. I will return your goodwill with record development." He was at his diplomatic best as he touched upon crucial poll issues without naming anyone. Modi took digs over issues, including 'skewed progress', corruption and problems faced by farmers. Even though the PM's visit was an official one BJP cadres hoped to gain momentum from it for the forthcoming polls. more

What can Modi do if Hooda has become so unpopular ? If people dont want to hear him what is Modi's fault in this ? Hooda should introspect why he has stooped to this level ? He has been a sycophant of Jamai raja & Gandhi family his Govt broke all corruption records gave land to Vadra free of cost which has brought him to this stage . How does Modi figure into all this ? Hooda has gone berserk seeing Modi's popularity .. more

Congress does not know how to handle NM's popularity. Opposition parties cry foul and blame Namo for all that happens. more

It has become a custom with the opposition parties that they will cry foul when they have no answer to what Modiji does or when people act in support of Modiji. It also happened in Maharashtra on 16th August when Modiji came to Nhava Sheva. He took a diplomatic dig at Maharashtra CM Prithviraj Chavan. After 2 days Prithviraj boasted that Maharashtra is better than Gujarat in terms of industrial development, economy etc. which is an utter lie. The Maharashtra government has not done anything over the last 15 years of rule and they have all robbed the state of its wealth by indulging into corruption. Prithviraj also called Modiji as "Mounendra Modi" which name actually suits him because he talks only when Sonia tells him to do so. He does not act, does not sign any papers, policy documents and has sat over them for 3 years ever since he has entered Maharashtra politics. People say he is clean and non-corrupt. But if he DOES NOT DO anything, what's the use of that? It is now high time that voters in Maharashtra who have tolerated this government for 15 years must decide to throw them out. Maharashtra must have an NDA government which is non-corrupt, industry-supporter and people-friendly. We need a state free of Congress (any prefix). more
