Bhupinder Singh Hooda, who was instrumental in getting Zee’s Subhash Chandra a Rajya Sabha seat, has the threat of CBI investigations looming large over him. Sources say Hooda is terrified that he will also meet the same fate as INLD chief Om Prakash Chautala. As a result, he has already started the spadework to improve his relations with Modi government with the help of his close sources. But when the Congress high command got whiff of this, she called him over and gave him a dressing down. Sources say already miffed with his party high command, Hooda had been contemplating launching his own regional party. That is also because Sonia has refused to give Hooda’s son Deependra any significant position in the party. But due to a close aide of Sonia, this was averted. Now Hooda has decided that he will work for Jats while remaining in the party.
