After the Punjab and Haryana High Court came down heavily on Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar for “protecting the Dera followers and extending political patronage”, social media also erupted demanding his resignation.
Journalists, politicians and common folk took to Twitter to lambast the Haryana Chief Minister for his 'lack of competence'. This is the second time after the Jat agitation last year when the BJP goverment has come under fire for failing to handle mobs and preventing violence.
Is this true that #khattar govt has provided assistant to #RamRahim in jail , allowed him to wear his own clothes and giving outside food?

If Khattar is not willing to resign for #DeraViolence then he can resign for not fixing Gurgaon roads 🙂

Of course. Modi is stone deaf. The moment he demands the resignation - Khattar will ask the same question - did you resign after 2002 ?

This violence by Dera goons is fully abetted by Khattar & BJP leaders who supported him for votes. Khattar must resign & be prosecuted https://t.co/toauuAKtnO

Khattar was either criminally complicit in enabling the carnage to develop over last 3 days or he was criminally negligent. He should resign

Hard to see how Khattar can survive.I am guessing Modi will sacrifice him to retain his good governance image. Let's see ...

BJP spokespersons keep saying Khattar is honest. Honesty cannot mask incompetence. For repeatedly proving incompetent Khattar must resign.

This is NOT spontaneous rioting. This chaos was PERMITTED. Remember court said Khattar administration "colluded" with Dera supporters

Khattar: Sir I personally checked AC, bed, very comfortable
Modi: Check safety arrangements, not Baba's comfort !
