During Congress’s rule, lands belonging to weaker sections and poor farmers were appropriated for the benefit of influential figures and large corporations.

Additionally, an illegal occupation of panchayat land was reported in Namraha village, Panipat. The Reliance Industries scam involved the sale of 25,000 acres of land in the Jhajjar-Gurgaon area at prices significantly below market value. Other scandals, including the sale of land to DLF in Wazirabad, the amusement park scam, and the Skylight Hospitality scam, further exposed the misuse of land under Congress governance.

Job opportunities during Hooda’s administration also showed a bias, with a “kharchi-parchi” system where jobs were allocated to the highest bidders, predominantly benefiting one favored community.
