Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini speaks to reporters on counting day
New Delhi:
Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini visited Saini Samaj Dharamshala in Kurukshetra today, shortly before the counting of votes for the assembly election, and expressed confidence the BJP would retain power in the northern state.
Mr Saini contested the election from Ladwa constituency of Kurukshetra district. He said the BJP’s work on the development front in the last 10 years will ensure the party sails through this time, too.
The exit polls have forecast a Congress win in both Haryana and Jammu and Kashmir – though exit polls often get it wrong.
“We have done a lot of development work in the last 10 years. The kind of system set up by former Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar will continue to bring benefits for Haryana for a long time,” Mr Saini told reporters this morning.
“It is our responsibility to take this good work forward,” he added.
The Haryana assembly has 90 seats. Postal ballots will be counted first, followed by electronic voting machines (EVMs) 30 minutes later.
Haryana Chief Electoral Officer Pankaj Agarwal said 93 counting centres have been set up for the 90 assembly constituencies in 22 districts of Haryana.
