Former Haryana Speaker Opposes Deepender Hooda as 2029 Congress CM Candidate
Former Haryana Assembly Speaker Kuldeep Sharma has criticized Rohtak MP Deepender Hooda's projection as the Congress party's chief ministerial candidate for the 2029 state elections. In a letter to senior Congress leaders, Sharma praised Sachin Pilot's call for collective leadership under Rahul Gandhi, arguing that focusing on a single family or face limits the party's broader appeal. He cited past electoral losses linked to the Hooda family's leadership and warned that such projections could restrict coalition-building efforts.
