Anil Vij jibes at Congress, CM Hooda under fear, keeping MLAs under control

March 16, 2026

Haryana’s Minister for Energy, Transport, and Labor, Anil Vij, has expressed confidence in winning two Rajya Sabha seats. Speaking to journalists, he stated that he is determined to cast his vote, whether he has to go on a stretcher or in a wheelchair.

Takes a Jibe at Former CM Hooda

Taking a dig at the Congress party, Minister Anil Vij remarked that the fact that former CM Hooda had sent his MLAs away to Kufri clearly implies that he was apprehensive—a fear that has compelled Hooda to keep his entire legislative flock under tight control.

Voting Commenced at 9:00 AM

Notably, voting is currently underway for two Rajya Sabha seats. Cabinet Minister Anil Vij has also left his residence in a wheelchair to cast his vote. Minister Anil Vij had been confined to his home for quite some time due to a plaster cast on his legs. But today he stepped out specifically to participate in the voting process.

It is worth mentioning that voting for the two Rajya Sabha seats in Haryana began at 9:00 AM.
