Will never share stage with Modi again: Haryana CM

#Will never share stage with Narendra Modi again: Haryana CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda

Kaithal, Aug 19 (IBNS): After being booed by a crowd at a public event in Kaithal in Haryana, state Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda, who shared the stage with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday, said he will never attend any function with the PM again.

The Prime Minister was present in Kaithal in Haryana on Tuesday to launch four laning of over 160 Kms National Highway from Kaithal to the border of Haryana-Rajasthan border at a function.

In an embarrassing moment, as soon the Haryana Chief Minister started to address the event, he was shut down by people chanting 'Modi, Modi'.

The upset CM has now vowed to boycott sharing of stage with Modi.

"It was meant to be an official function but turned into a political rally. The BJP has violated the pride of the institution of PM. I went to keep the pride of the chair. In future, I will never attend a function with the PM," Hooda told reporters.

It was even more embarrassing for the CM as the crowd roared in approval as Modi began to deliver his address.

The situation brings along bad news for the Congress party as Haryana goes to polls this year.
