Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini met Prime Minister Narendra Modi here on Wednesday ahead of his likely swearing-in as the head of the BJP government in the state following the party’s remarkable win in the assembly polls
The BJP had indicated during the elections that Saini, who replaced Manohar Lal Khattar in March and hails from the Other Backward Classes, will be its choice for the top post if it wins.
Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Saini credited PM Modi s policies for the party’s success.
He said psephologists might have declared the Congress as the favourite to win the polls but he always insisted that people will put their trust in the BJP due to its government’s policies.
To a question about the Congress raising doubts on EVMs, he said the opposition party has been building up a storm of lies.
He said, “The credit of this big win goes to Modi who brought such schemes in last 10 years that benefitted the poor, farmers, youth and women. These helped all sections of the society. People love him, and hence the BJP is coming to power for a third time.”
