Ranchi (Jharkhand) [India], July 9 : Ahead of the Haryana assembly polls, Union Minister and former Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar said on Tuesday that the BJP has been in power in the state for the past 10 years and will continue to rule for another five years.
"In Haryana, we have been ruling for 10 years, and we will rule for 5 more years to come, just like Prime Minister Modi has become the PM for the third time," Khattar said while speaking to reporters in Jharkhand's Ranchi.
The Union Minister of Power and Housing & Urban Affairs also mentioned that he would talk to Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren regarding policies on electricity.
"The departments of the Centre made the policies, but it is the state's responsibility to implement them. As a Minister, I'll talk to the CM of the new government regarding electricity," Khattar said.
Earlier on July 6, Union Minister Manohar Lal Khattar held a meeting with state BJP leaders and workers to discuss preparations for the 2024 Assembly elections in Haryana.
After the meeting, the former Haryana Chief Minister told reporters in Karnal, "The preparations are ongoing for the Vidhan Sabha elections. The party workers are excited. The lies told by Congress will not work in the next elections. The tactics that they (the Congress) have used in the Lok Sabha elections will not work anymore."
Meanwhile, the Bharatiya Janata Party on Tuesday appointed MLA Mohan Lal Badoli as the Haryana State President.
This comes as parties start preparations for the Haryana Assembly elections, which are to be held later this year.
Earlier, Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini asserted on Sunday that Congress will not be able to win any seats in the assembly elections as the Bharatiya Janata Party is strong in all 90 assembly seats in the state.
"Congress is weak in every assembly. Congress has nothing to speak about... I don't think Congress will be able to win any seat in the assembly elections because the BJP is very strong in all 90 assembly seats," Saini told reporters.
