Kurukshetra (Haryana) [India], February 22 (ANI): Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Saturday expressed confidence ahead of the local bodies elections in the state, saying that the excitement among people was indicative of the fact that Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) would have one-sided victory.
"The enthusiasm and excitement among the people will ensure the BJP's one-sided victory (in local elections). People will form the triple-engine government under the leadership of PM Modi," Saini told reporters.
Taking a dig at Congress, the Haryana CM said that the opposition party runs merely on Twitter and has no ground left in the state.
"Congress tweet ke upar apni party ko chalane ka kaam kar rahi hai (Congress is running the party on Twitter). Congress has no ground left here," Saini said.
He further lashed out at the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and said, "The AAP government in Delhi was based on lies, and the people (in the national capital) have now exposed it. Today, the country is with PM Modi for the Viksit Bharat."
Meanwhile, The Congress in Haryana expelled seven party leaders from across the state for indulging in "anti-party activities" in the upcoming 2025 municipal corporation elections. The seven leaders have been suspended for six years in consultation with the state in-charge BK Hariprasad.
According to an order, the expelled leaders include former District Congress Committee (DCC) presidents Tarlochan Singh and Ashok Khurana (Karnal), Member Coordination Committee Pradeep Chaudhary (Karnal), and former District Youth Congress (DYC) president Madhu Chaudhary (Yamuna Nagar).
Ram Niwas Rara, a Congress candidate from the Hisar assembly constituency, has also been expelled by the party. Additionally, Harvinder (Lovely) from Gurugram and Ram Kishan Sain (from Gurugram) have been expelled for six years with immediate effect.
Over a week ago, Haryana Congress president Udai Bhan raised concerns over the use of Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs), questioned the delay in result declaration, and demanded proper representation for the SC community.
The Haryana Municipal Corporation Elections are scheduled to be held on March 2, 2025, with the results to be declared on March 12, 2025. (ANI)
