CHANDIGARH: After drawing flak for running the 'No 1 Haryana' advertisement, eulogizing chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda , the state government has withdrawn the controversial punch line "Hooda ji ka Haryana" from the jingle, which is being largely telecast on television channels and frequently aired on the FM radio. Now the advertisement would repeat "No 1 Haryana" rather than "Hooda ji ka Haryana".The chief minister had come under severe criticism from Opposition parties and Congress leaders for self-promotion rather than promoting the state's policies.Sources told TOI that the decision to remove the line was taken recently following the intervention of Congress high command after some senior leaders had brought the issue to its notice.The senior leaders had termed it as an attempt to promote an individual rather than the work of the entire Congress government. When asked about the reasons behind the withdrawal of the line, state's public relations department officials refused to comment.The Punjab and Haryana high court on August 21 had issued notice to the state's public relations department for allegedly releasing advertisements worth over Rs 100 crore, eulogizing the CM. The court had asked Hooda, secretary and director of department of information, public relations and cultural affairs to file their reply by September 4. Allegations of unregulated paid advertisements through various modes of telecommunication, print and social media by the Hooda government were also levelled in the petition.
