The bickering in Haryana Congress has come out in the open sooner than expected with an alleged statement by Power Minister and industrialist Om Prakash Jindal that PCC chief Bhajan Lal could take to the sickbed anytime. While the former Chief Minister has already complained to the high command, Jindal said his comment on O.P. Chautala had been wrongly attributed in a newspaper report. Bhajan Lal wrote to the central leadership that Jindal had criticised him openly at a press conference in Bhiwani on March 12. He also annexed clippings of newspaper reports in support of his complaint.
