With the Hooda-led Congress falling short of a majority, he had lent support become a minister. He facing charges in many cases.

Uma Bharati questioned why the party needed Gopal Kanda when it has a "power like Narandra Modi".

"We have a power like @narendramodi ji, and does the country have the people of the whole world with Modi ji and Modi ji has built the power of nationalism on the basis of Satoguni energy." she tweeted.

Bharati has urged the leadership to shun Gopal Kanda's support.

"I would request @ BJP4India ji not to forget our moral fabric," she saud in a tweet.

"Our government must be formed in Haryana, but decide that the people like @BJP4India have a clean life, so should the people who are allying with us," Bharti tweeted.
