Rao Narender Singh appointed Haryana Congress chief, Hooda is legislature party leader

Congress appoints Rao Narender Singh as Haryana party chief and Bhupinder Singh Hooda as legislature leader after state election defeat and internal troubles.

"Will they refund the amount of GST that has gone over the past seven years? - Bhupinder Singh Hooda"

Chandigarh, September 29

Congress has appointed Rao Narender Singh as state party chief and former Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda as the leader of the Congress Legislature Party.

The appointment of Hooda as CLP leader came almost a year after the state assembly polls, which the Congress lost, despite expectations that the party would come to power in the state. The appointments were made by Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge.

Hooda was the CLP leader in the previous assembly. Rao Narender Singh will replace Udai Bhan as state Congress chief.

Congress has faced internal troubles in Haryana, and it was seen as a reason for the party not coming to power in the state in the last elections.

Hooda recently took potshots at the Union government over its GST reforms campaign and asked if it would refund the amount of GST collected over the past seven years.

"GST was imposed by this government itself. Why didn't they think about this seven years ago? Will they refund the amount of GST that has gone over the past seven years? In the announcement that has been made, there is still a great need to provide much more relief so that it benefits the common man of the country," he asked.

Hooda raising GST concerns is spot on! Common people are struggling with rising prices and GST burden. Government should provide real relief, not just announcements. 💯

Interesting move by Congress. Taking a year to appoint leadership shows the internal challenges they're facing. Hope this new team can provide effective opposition in Haryana.

While I support strong opposition, Congress needs to focus more on constructive policies rather than just criticizing. The GST question is valid, but what's their alternative solution?

Good to see Hooda back as CLP leader. He understands Haryana's issues well. But Congress needs to connect with youth and farmers more effectively to challenge the current government.

As a small business owner from Gurugram, I completely agree with Hooda's GST remarks. The compliance burden is too high for MSMEs. Hope both parties work on simplifying it for common people. 🏪
