As Congress state president, Ashok Tanwar had a figure of thirty-six with former CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda. Ashok Tanwar had a tussle with Bhupinder Singh Hooda over ticket distribution at the party in Haryana Assembly Elections 2019. Tanwar was upset with his supporters being cut off their tickets. Then Ashok Tanwar resigned from the post of state president of Haryana Congress and also left the party.

In the year 2016, during Rahul Gandhi's Kisan Yatra in Delhi, supporters of Ashok Tanwar and former CM had clashed. Then Ashok Tanwar also had an injury on his neck. Tanwar also accused Hooda supporters of attacking him. The matter also reached the Congress High Command. After this, the party also called for a report on this, but no action was taken against Hooda supporters.
