The BJP’s stunning victory in the Haryana assembly elections reflects its commitment to development which will also propel the ruling Mahayuti to a thumping majority in the upcoming Maharashtra polls, said Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Wednesday.
The Congress and its opposition INDIA bloc partners used fake narratives, played caste politics and made false promises to garner votes in the Lok Sabha elections, but the bubble has burst, he told PTI in an interview.
“The truth will come out if you compare the work done by the Congress in 50-60 years (when it was in power) and what Prime Minister Narendra Modi has done in the past 10 years,” said Shinde, whose Shiv Sena is a constituent of the ruling Mahayuti coalition, also comprising the BJP and Ajit Pawar-led NCP.
There was a double-engine government in Haryana and the people there understood what it meant for development. That’s why they voted BJP to power for the third consecutive time, he said.
