 Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda on Tuesday urged Balbir Pal Shah, Congress legislator from Panipat Urban, to reconsider his decision to resign.

“I have read about this (his resignation) in the newspapers but have not received any intimation in this regard. He is a senior legislator of the Congress Party, and if has any grievances, he could personally meet me”, Hooda said in a press conference after Cabinet meeting here. Hooda said that his government was making efforts to ensure inclusive development in the state.

"Those who were making baseless allegations about bias in development were doing so to hide their own failures," he added. The Chief Minister said that Rajya Sabha member Birender Singh,  who is visiting different districts to mobilize people for the rally to be held in Jind on August 20, is spreading the propaganda that northern Haryana was being discriminated against in terms of development works.
