Om Prakash Chautala addresses 24 meetings in two months

NEW DELHI: Ahead of his two month parole which ended on Tuesday, former Haryana chief minister Om Prakash Chautala did two dozen public meetings in a battle for survival of his party, the Indian National Lok Dal.

On Tuesday, in his last public meetings in Bahadurgarh and Badli before he heads back to the Tihar Jail , an ailing Chautala chose to sit and address the sparse crowd.

"I am 84...prisioners are generally released at 65 years but this government does not have the right intentions....I have a strong case, they will have to release me soon,” Chautala, in his trademark green turban, said in Asaudha village in Bahadurgarh.

He claimed his party was sweeping districts like Rewari, Bhiwani, Sirsa, Mahendargarh and Dadri and how he was able to stitch an alliance with his old friend Prakash Singh Badal last month.
