New Delhi: People have given a mandate to the BJP in Haryana for a third consecutive term on Prime Minister Narendra Modi government’s policies, achievements and way of functioning, and rejected the Congress and its “lies”, Union minister Manohar Lal Khattar said on Tuesday.
The BJP is set to return to power in Haryana for the third consecutive term, having won 48 seats in the 90-member assembly.
“The Congress was continuously lying and spreading confusion. But people have rejected what the Congress was saying and appreciated the BJP,” Khattar told reporters.
After an over nine-year stint, the veteran BJP leader was removed as Haryana chief minister and replaced by Nayab Singh Saini in March this year ahead of Lok Sabha polls.
It is for the first time that any party is going to form its government in Haryana for a third time, Khattar added.
Earlier in the day, Union minister Dharmendra Pradhan, who is the BJP’s in-charge for Haryana, and other leaders met Khattar at his residence here.
