He also alleged that the government had reduced budgetary allocation of some key departments.
He said that farmers were facing hardships, but the government was not moved by their plight.
Chautala said that budgetary allocation for the agriculture sector this year had been reduced in comparison to previous year.

Earlier, Haryana Urban Local Bodies Minister Kavita Jain said permanent arrangements for drinking water supply would be made in 26 villages included in Municipal Corporation, Sonipat under the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT).
The Minister, replying to a question by MLA Jai Tirath Dahiya, said that development works to the tune of Rs 12.20 crore had already been completed in these villages, whereas work was underway on projects worth Rs 8.37 crore.
Similarly, tenders have been invited for works to the tune of Rs 13 crore and estimates have been prepared for projects worth Rs 32 crore.
Describing the allegations of Dahiya that Rs 700 crore meant for the 26 villages were being used in Sonipat, as merely an attempt to mislead people, Jain said funds to the tune of Rs 157 crore, and not Rs 700 crore, had been earmarked for these villages.
Seven Municipal Corporations, including Sonipat, were constituted during the Congress dispensation, and these 26 villages were included in the Corporation at the same time, she added.
Replying to another question, she said that date palm trees had been planted in Sonipat for beautification of the city.
While the trees usually shed leaves once after transplantation before regaining their foliage, the contractor would replace free-of-cost the trees that wither, as per the agreement.
Meanwhile, two Bills the Haryana Appropriation Bill, 2017 and the Haryana Law Officers (Engagement) Amendment Bill, 2017 were passed by the House.
