Abhay Singh Chautala, a prominent Jat leader and the face of the Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) in Haryana, is gearing up for a comeback. He is determined to restore INLD’s former dominance in the state.

To strengthen the party’s grassroots in the state, eight district presidents and workers, including those from Gurugram, Faridabad, Rewari, Palwal, Mewat, Rohtak, Jhajjar, and Sonipat, met here in Gurugram on Thursday. State president Rampal Majra, Prakash Bharti, Umed Lohan, Aditya Devi Lal, and Karan Chautala were also present at this meeting.

While holding a press conference here in Gurugram, Abhay Singh Chautala said, “The party leaders will put all possible efforts into bringing back old workers to the party; for this, he will visit different constituencies across the state.”

While sharing the party’s schedule, Chautala said eight district party workers have met today, seven district party workers will meet on Friday in Fatehabad, and the remaining seven district party workers will meet on Saturday in the state capital in Chandigarh on April 13. Chautala also claimed that INLD will organise 7 big programs every year to restore party workers and the party’s former dominance in the state.

Chautala further said that “People who just show their face and do not work will have no place in the organisation. He instructed the party workers to meet those who are associated with the ideology of Chaudhary Devi Lal and left the party for some reason and include them in the party again.” However, this move is anticipated to benefit INLD from the rural and agricultural Jat community.

While attacking former Haryana CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda, Chautala said today the biggest villain of the state is Bhupinder Hooda, who joined hands with BJP to avoid going to jail and betrayed the people of the state.

“Hooda did not allow INLD to join the India Alliance at the behest of BJP. If the INLD party had joined the India Alliance, it would not only have won all 10 Lok Sabha seats but would have also won a huge majority in the assembly and would have thrown BJP out of power,” he said.

He further said Hooda, at the behest of BJP, gave 16 assembly tickets to such weak candidates who all lost in the 2024 assembly elections. While answering a question about INLD’s former vice president Ashok Kumar Arora, Chautala said, “He is a senior party leader and was a close associate of former Haryana CM OP Chautala, but unfortunately he is not getting the respect he used to get in INLD.

If he comes back to INLD, he will get the same respect and honour as he got earlier,” Chautala said.

State President Rampal Majra said the people of the state want to throw the corrupt BJP out of power, and for this, all the officials should go among the people and reveal how first JJP helped BJP to win for the second consecutive time and then Bhupendra Hooda helped BJP to win for the third time.

“Today the people of Haryana consider Congress and JJP as traitors for helping BJP to remain in power and are ready to crown Chaudhary Abhay Singh Chautala with victory for the 2029 assembly elections,” he said.
