"Various issues concerning the state will be discussed but the exact agenda will be known tomorrow," a party MLA said.

Replying to a question, the legislator said the CLP meeting date had been fixed a week ago and had nothing to do with recent developments in the party's Punjab unit.

"The meeting was already fixed a week ago, much before those developments (a few days ago which saw Amarinder Singh resigning as Punjab chief minister). The convening of the Haryana unit's CLP meet has no relation with that," the MLA said.

Hooda, who is Leader of Opposition in the state Assembly, will be reaching Chandigarh from Delhi in the afternoon.
