Chautala seeks resignation of Hooda govt

Chandigarh, Oct 6 (UNI) Mounting a strong offensive on the Hooda government in the wake of the resignation of Power Minister Venod Sharma, the opposition Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) today demanded the resignation or dismissal of the entire state cabinet, saying it was full of ''black sheep''.

Former Chief Minister and Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) supremo Om Prakash Chautala, in a statement here, said by Sharma's resignation, the Congress was trying save its face but it had only exposed the real face of the party before the public.

''If he had to resign on moral grounds, he should have done it much earlier. His belated action seemed to have been taken under political compulsions in the wake of severe opposition pressure,'' he said.

Pointing out that it was his party that took up the matter in and outside the state assembly, he said they would continue the crusade against corrupt Congress leaders ''The resignation of Venod Sharma alone will not suffice. The others like Kumari Selja and Randeep Singh Surjewala are also involved in different scams must go.'' UNI MA RL KN2059
