The image of Haryana was that of getting jobs on the basis of 'Kharchi' and 'Parchi', Haryana used to be known for land scams, jobs were used to be given on paper, actions were taken against people. While discussing their (Congress) manifesto, we should look into these facts. Hence, when we talk manifesto, I want to say that we are doing non-stop work," said Nadda.
