Deepender, who participated in a ‘Hath Se Hath Jodo’ programme in Sadhaura constituency of Yamunanagar, said the echo of Congress’ resounding victory in Karnataka was heard till Haryana.

“People of Haryana have made up their mind for a change as in the past nine years, the BJP-JJP government has worked to disappoint every section,” he said.
