Oct 22, 2024
New Delhi [India], October 22 : Hitting out at Congress over Haryana assembly election results, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Praveen Khandelwal on Monday stated that the Congress is not able to understand that the country has completely rejected them.
Speaking to ANI, Praveen Khandelwal said "I have said this time and again, the Congress party is not able to understand that the people of the country have completely rejected them and the country is moving ahead very fast under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi."
Describing Congress' efforts to reach out election commission after the polls as an act of 'frustration' he said it would not make any difference.
"Hooda ji should understand that his party has already lost in Haryana and hence if he goes anywhere now to evade his embarrassment, it will not make any difference. The Election Commission has worked very clearly, still if he has made any complaint, then the Election Commission will work within its limits. But overall, this is a case of frustration," the BJP MP added.
Praveen Khandelwal is a member of parliament from Chandini Chowk parliamentary constituency.
BJP's Nayab Singh Saini was administered the oath of office by Haryana Governor Bandaru Dattatreya, marking his second term as Chief Minister of Haryana. His council of ministers was also sworn in during the ceremony.
