New Delhi [India], September 1 : Hitting back at the Bharatiya Janata Party in Haryana ahead of the upcoming assembly elections, former Delhi deputy chief minister and Aam Aadmi Party leader Manish Sisodia accused the BJP of "betraying" the people of the state.
"The people of Haryana had chosen BJP with great expectations but BJP has betrayed the people of Haryana and has not done any work...The people of Haryana now want change," said Sisodia.
He exuded confidence that the people of Haryana will give Arvind Kejriwal a chance and the Aam Aadmi Party will form government in Haryana with full majority.
"When Arvind Kejriwal got a chance in Delhi, he worked a lot. On the same lines, today the Punjab government is working. On one side of Haryana is Punjab, and on the other side is Delhi. People on both sides are watching what kind of work Arvind Kejriwal does when he gets a chance. There is strong chance that Haryana will give a chance to Arvind Kejriwal this time," said Sisodia.
Meanwhile, Congress MP Manickam Tagore also exuded confidence on his party's chances and said the party will win more than 70 seats this time in the upcoming Haryana Assembly polls.
"Haryana is in a very positive mood for Congress. We all expect more than 70 seats this time. We know that the momentum is on Congress' side. So, we want the process of selection of candidates as well as the combination of other things in the right way," said the MP.
Earlier, Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini rubbished Congress' chance in the upcoming polls and claimed the party will be unable to open its account in the Haryana assembly elections.
"The Congress party will be unable to open its account in Haryana assembly elections...They do not come to provide facilities to the people but to do corruption," said the Chief Minister.
The elections in Haryana will be held in a single phase on October 5 and the counting of votes will happen on October 8.
The Election Commission of India on Saturday, revised the polling day for Haryana Assembly polls from October 1 to October 5 and moved the counting day of both Haryana and Jammu and Kashmir and Haryana assemblies from October 4 to October 8.
