Following the CBI raids at multiple locations in Haryana in connection with questionable allotment of coveted industrial plots during former Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda regime, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar lal on Monday made it clear that CBI and vigilance probes against Hooda and other leaders were not being conducted due to any political vendetta.
In fact, these probes were being conducted after irregularities committed during their tenure surfaced, said the Chief Minister while addressing a public meeting in Julana at district Jind.
