Chandigarh: Former Chief Minister and Leader of Opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda on Thursday demanded an independent inquiry to probe the hooch tragedy in the State. “Deaths due to poisonous liquor are not stopping in the State. Within 3 years, incidents like Sonipat, Panipat, Ambala and Yamunanagar have taken place in Haryana in which dozens of people died due to poisonous liquor. This is not possible without protection. Despite major incidents, the government did not take action against any big players,” he alleged. Commenting on the election results of five states, Hooda told the reporters in Chandigarh that the party is reviewing the reasons for the defeat. “However, if we look at the results in depth, Congress has got about 10 lakh more votes than BJP in four states.
