Interactin­g with mediaperso­ns in Sirsa, Chautala said people from other parties were returning to their fold, which gave them confidence of winning the Baroda bypoll.

“Even though my party is in opposition, workers from other parties are joining us. The people of Haryana have realised that the BJP-JJP government betrayed them by doing nothing for them. My party had won Baroda seat seven times and we are confident of winning the bypoll,” Chautala added.

Chautala said he had followed Ram Gautam (JJP rebel MLA from Narnaund) and forgot his great grandfathe­r Devi Lal.

“Now, Gautam also left him. We are the only ones who follow in the footsteps of former deputy prime minister Devi Lal. The

BJP-JJP government has lost people’s trust vote and the voters will teach them a lesson in Baroda byelection,” he added.

He further asked the government to initiate special girdawari in the areas that came under locust attack.
