ROHTAK : Haryana Pradesh Congress Committee president Ashok Tanwar on Sunday said the party needs to unite to fight the BJP and INLD, indirectly hinting at his arch rival and former chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hood a, who is holding separate programmes to strengthen his stronghold in Haryana.

“Individual programmes have been held a lot of times. Different leaders are holding their own shows of strength in their own way. But now, we need to show unity in the Congress and fight the BJP and its B-team INLD,” said Tanwar in Rohtak on Sunday.

Tan war and Hood a camp have been fighting for a long time for charge in Ha ryan a Congress. The upcoming programme soft he two leaders will coincide in February, when Hood a will take out his ra th yatra in Haryana while Tanwar will take out his cycle yatra.

Talking about the same, Tanwar on Sunday asked people to donate him cycles for his ya tr a to get maximum reach. “Just like donating blood saves lives, donating us cycles for cycle yatra will save Haryana from the wrong leadership of BJP. After our ya tr a, we will donate the cycles to the poor,” Tanwar said.

Former state home minister and newly appointed media in-charge of Haryana Congress, Sub hash Bat ra, attacked the B JP on poor law and order situation in the state. Giving example of the recent viral video where cops were seen harassing a young couple at R oh ta k’ s Ti ly ar Lake, Bat ra said the B JP government was not doing anything valuable for the state.
