War of words erupts between Cong, BJP

ROHTAK: The ruling Bharatiya Janata party (BJP) and the main opposition Congress in Haryana on Monday attacked each other over the results of zila parishad polls, with the latter claiming that the party was all set to form the next government in the state

After chairing a meeting with party officials in Rohtak, BJP state president OP Dhankar said that over 200 BJP affiliated workers have won the zila parishad polls in 22 districts of Haryana. “The Congress backed candidates lost the polls badly while the Aam Aadmi party is reduced to only 14 seats in the zila parishad polls. The people have elected our nominees and workers, who were contesting without party symbol by seeing the work of double engine governments. Now, we will form our chairman and a triple engine government will ensure overall development,” Dhankar added.

Commenting on zila parishad polls, former chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda said the people of Haryana have once shown the mirror to BJP-JJP and Congress is all set to form the next government.

“BJP should tell that if it was supporting independents then why did it field candidates on party symbol? If the BJP was contesting elections on the party symbol, then why did it support independents,” he said.

BJP-JJP govt has lost trust of people, says Deepender

Senior Haryana Congress leader Deepender Hooda in Chandigarh said the results have clearly proved that people are disenchanted with the ruling BJP-JJP coalition government.
