It is another matter that Haryana surrounds Delhi on three sides and the biggest numbers for the rally had to be from the state.
The rally and the meeting at Surajkund in Faridabad district saw him being at centre-stage with the top Congress leadership, especially Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi.
At the Ramlila ground rally, Hooda was on the stage with Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. He made sure that his efforts for the rally were duly acknowledged as he asked the people at the venue to raise their hands if they came from Haryana.
Needless to say, a majority of the hands went up and it was there for all Congress national leaders to see.
The rally was followed by a meeting of the Congress top-brass and union ministers at Surajkund near New Delhi last week.
