Jhajjar (Haryana) [India], October 8 : As the counting for Haryana Assembly elections got underway on Tuesday, Congress candidate from Jhajjar, Geeta Bhukkal hoped that they would win a thumping majority in the state.
"The manner in which people of Jhajjar constituency have given their blessings and support, I hope to win with a thumping majority from here. Congress will form the government in Haryana. Exit polls are in favour of Congress but I think these are not 'Exact Polls', we will win with an even higher number of seats. Congress fought elections on issues," Bhukkal said.
Congress candidate from Kaithal, Aditya Surjewala was also confident of the party winning the election.
" We will win around 60 seats and BJP will come down to 15 seats, no other party will win any other seats. We have kept 7 promises and it has touched the hearts of people. Because of BJP, inflation has risen so much that it has become so difficult to run a household," he said.
Meanwhile, Union Minister Chirag Paswan hoped that the results would be in favour of the BJP.
"The BJP has worked hard in Jammu-Kashmir and Haryana and the public trusts BJP and PM Modi. I am hopeful that the results of the assembly elections will be in our favour," the Union Minister said.
Senior BJP leader and party candidate from Badli, Om Prakash Dhankar said that the results would finally consolidate in favour of the BJP.
"We are awaiting grand results. It will be clear in the afternoon that we are forming the government...Everyone makes claims but results will tell us whose claims are true. Exit Polls are sometimes correct, sometimes wrong. In Chhattisgarh, as per the polls Congress government was being formed there but it was BJP that formed the government there..."
The J-K assembly election for 90 constituencies was held over three phases on September 18, September 25 and October 1, respectively. Meanwhile, polling for the 90 seats of the Haryana Assembly ended on October 5.
