On the other hand, sources have claimed that Congress leader Bajrang Garg has also removed party flags from his residence. However, Garg later released a video and clarified that he is still with the Congress. “The Congress party is completely united, but some people are conspiring against us. With the blessings of the people, the Congress is going to form the govt in Haryana with a huge majority,” he said in the video. When contacted, Professor Chhatrapal said he was in Delhi, but claimed his supporters held meetings among themselves and removed the flags from his house and office. “Whatever I am today, it is because of my supporters,” he added.
