# Hooda blames BJP for panic after Dadri crime 2026-08-08T20:47:45+00:00 | Politics | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Former Haryana chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda on Friday said the Dadri incident has spread panic across the state and held the BJP government responsible for deteriorating law and order. Speaking in Karnal, he said brazen robberies, dacoity, extortion, murder and open firing have become routine, with miscreants acting without fear of the law. Hooda also accused the BJP of altering the Congress government's sports policy. He cited the direct appointment of 17 medal-winning athletes, including Yogeshwar Dutt and Vijender Singh, as DSPs, and cash rewards up to Rs 5 crore, which he said helped Haryana athletes win 22 of India's 38 gold medals at the 2010 Commonwealth Games. He claimed these athletes have not received promotions under the current administration. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com Tags: Bhupinder Singh Hooda, BJP, Dadri, Haryana, law and order, sports policy Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/hooda-blames-bjp-for-panic-after-dadri-crime/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
