Deepender Hooda visits constituency to thank voters
Titoli (Rohtak), October 9 Before beginning his tour he had a meeting with senior district officers to seek details of the ongoing development projects initiated by his father in the area before the campaign for the parliamentary byelection began. The bureaucracy had a taste of the things to come when he took them by surprise on many issues through his probing queries. This was followed by another meeting with his campaign managers and Congress workers who apprised him of the problems and requirements of the villages in his vast constituency. This morning beginning his day at Sunderpur he was informed that the work on the village road had been stalled for many weeks. Mr Hooda was quick to react. He queried the officials concerned on his mobile phone and was assured that the road would be completed in two weeks. He informed the villagers in turn about it and asked the sarpanch to inform his about the progress on the project in 10 days so that if there were any likely delays he could sort out the issues. At Titoli the villagers told him that the work on laying pipelines for water supply had been held up because the department concerned had not yet accorded its sanction. He went to a corner of the dais and spoke to the Chief Minister’s OSD, Mr M.S. Chopra, and requested him to contact the head of the department immediately and let him know when the sanction could be expected. The response came five minutes later – the pipes would be purchased within a week and delivered to the village. It was the same story in rest of the six villages he toured today. In every village he begged to be excused from making a speech because he said he had come to thank them for electing him and to tell them it was time now that “you ask me and I deliver”. He promised that he would be available to his constituents all the time and that he would ensure that the Rohtak Lok Sabha constituency became an “example for the rest of the country in so far as development was concerned”. Notably, he was accompanied only by the local Congress leaders and his party workers. Unlike the two sons of former Chief Minister Om Prakash Chautala, he chose not to flaunt his political status by keeping the siren blaring escort and pilot vehicles out of his cavalcade. |

The villagers said that the then sarpanch Mitra Pal Singh had got passed a resolution in a meeting of the panchayat to construct a hut, a satsang bhawan and a large rest room for devotees on panchayat land in 1986. Panchayat had installed a tubewell in the ashram by passing a resolution. The electricity connection had also been allocated on the name of the ashram and it was being paid with the money donated by the devotees. The memorandum said that Mahant Ramanand had opened his “maun vrat” on completion of 12 years in 1999 and a huge bhandara was also organised on this occasion. It said that people had faith in this pious dham and there was a 300 years old ‘panchveer temple’ on this land. It claimed that the land had not been encroached upon by the mahant and it was still the property of the panchayat. The delegation demanded withdrawal of the notice to maintain the sanctity of this pious place.
