If anything, Hooda has made an effort to maintain a low profile. He rarely loses his temper in public, is easy with the administration and has kept that typically Jat tendency, to be vindictive with his opponents in check. In the last four odd years, Hooda matched a low profile with a focus on infrastructure development, particularly in the Rohtak, Gurgaon belt. The compensation paid to farmers of Rohtak and Jhajjar by the Reliance SEZ, clearance of new highways and his ability to take advantage of a Congress led government at the Centre to bring new projects to the state has gone down well.
