Under the guidance of PM Modi and the leadership of CM Nayab Singh Saini, the BJP will form the government in Haryana for the third time with full majority, Shah said
Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday said the BJP will fight the upcoming Haryana assembly elections alone under the leadership of Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, and exuded confidence the party will come back to power with full majority for its third consecutive term.
Addressing BJP leaders and workers during a meeting of the party’s extended state executive at Panchkula here, he said they should have no doubt that the BJP will have no tie-up for the state polls which are due before October this year.
The party does not need any crutches, party sources quoted Shah having said.
Under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the leadership of Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, the BJP will form the government in Haryana for the third time with full majority, Shah told the workers.
The Haryana BJP posted on X that the home minister expressed gratitude to party workers and said the people of Haryana have made an important contribution in making Modi prime minister for a third time.
The media was not allowed to cover the proceedings of the meeting.
In March this year, the BJP replaced Manohar Lal Khattar with Nayab Singh Saini, an OBC leader, as the chief minister of Haryana.

Senior leaders OP Dhankar, Ram Bilas Sharma, ministers Mool Chand Sharma, JP Dalal, Kanwar Pal and Aseem Goel, MLAs, and former ministers including Anil Vij and other leaders were also present.
Senior state-level BJP leaders, office-bearers and around 4,500 party workers from all 90 assembly constituencies attended the meeting.
After the meeting, Shah also met state unit office-bearers.
The party organised an exhibition at the venue, highlighting the state government’s initiatives and schemes, including the abolition of minimum monthly charges for domestic electricity consumers and providing minimum support prices on 14 crops.
