Chandigarh, Oct 12: Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda is a busy man these days. From serial rapes to allegations of a state government-Robert Vadra-DLF nexus in land deals, the Hooda regime is at the centre of a host of headline grabbing events.
While Hooda's first tenure (2005-2009) was rather a smooth ride, the second tenure (October 2009 to present) has been rather bumpy.
The chief minister has had his hands full these three years. The list is long -- right from the formation of his government a second time, when the Congress could not muster a majority in the assembly on its own, and roping in Independents (including Gopal Kanda) to engineering defections in the Haryana Janhit Congress (HJC) and facing the repeated violent unrest at the Maruti-Suzuki plant in Manesar.
But that is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg.
Growing crime and violence, especially against Dalits, the violent Jat reservation agitations, ministers and legislators getting involved in criminal activities, the series of rapes of minors, Dalit and married women and finally the questionable land deals involving realty giants, Hooda has a lot in his plate.
