Karnal (Haryana) [India], September 28 : Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said on Friday that the opposition in Haryana is desperate as they have no issue and exuded confidence that the BJP will get the opportunity to serve the state with a clear majority for the third time.
"Election campaigning in Haryana has reached new heights...I can say with full confidence that the BJP will get the opportunity to serve the state for the third time with a clear majority. The opposition has no issue, they are desperate...," Dharmendra Pradhan told reporters in Karnal.
"We are getting successful in reaching out to different sections of society. Under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and under the leadership of Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, (the people of) Haryana will once again give the BJP a chance to serve," Dharmendra Pradhan added.
Earlier in the day, lauding the BJP's efforts in Haryana, Home Minister Amit Shah highlighted key initiatives undertaken by the government, including the purchase of 24 crops at the minimum support price (MSP) and the implementation of One Rank-One Pension (OROP) among others.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah highlighted the BJP's achievements since Prime Minister Narendra Modi began his election campaign in 2014.
Addressing a gathering in Rewari, Shah emphasized the fulfillment of the long-standing demand for OROP, stating, "Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi started his election campaign in 2014 from Haryana and promised to fulfill the demand of OROP being raised by our army personnel for the last 40 years. For 40 years, Congress could not implement OROP, you gave Modi ji an opportunity to serve and Modi ji implemented OROP. A month ago, the third version of OROP has also been implemented".
Haryana goes to the polls on October 5 to elect a 90-member state legislative assembly to form its next government, with the counting set to take place on October 8.
In 2019, the BJP emerged as the single-largest party with 40 seats. Congress won 30 seats.
