Ahead of the polling in Haryana on October 5, Congress leader and former Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh Bhupesh Baghel said that people of Haryana have decided to vote the BJP out of power, which has misruled the state for 10 years.
CM Bhupesh Baghel said, "There is a terrific electoral atmosphere in Haryana. People of Haryana have decided to vote the BJP out of power, which has misruled the state for 10 years. The nation is aware of the farmers' protest which has been going on for a long time, the betrayal of the youth through the agniveer scheme and finally people have seen wrestlers' protest. People are deeply troubled by corruption, bureaucracy, and incapability of the government and they want a change." He said further that the voting on October 5 would be against the BJP government. After a decade in power in Haryana, the BJP faces a crucial test in the Haryana elections, with key issues like farmer protests, wrestler support, and leadership changes, as a loss here could ripple across future state and national elections. Earlier, Bhupesh Baghel said on Thursday that the people of the state are fed up with the BJP government. There are elections in Haryana, "Khattar sahab is missing in the elections," said Baghel. Notably, leadership shake-up within the BJP has added further intrigue to the party's electoral ambitions. The BJP replaced long-serving Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar with Nayab Singh Saini. "(Chief Minister) Saini Sahab's situation is such that he could not even call the assembly session in six months. The situation of both can be understood. The people of Haryana are fed up with the BJP government. Be it farmers, soldiers, wrestlers, or women, everyone has decided that this government has to be uprooted and the Congress government is going to be formed with an absolute majority," Baghel said. "They (BJP) are not able to discuss anything about their achievements. Kumari Selja is our national leader, and national general secretary and has held various posts. She has been given all the posts, so we have a lot of respect for her. The question is that Saini Sahab should tell why Khattar Sahab's photo is missing from the poster and why Khattar Sahab is missing from the stage," he added. Haryana goes to the polls on October 5 to elect a 90-member state legislative assembly to form its next government, with the counting set to take place on October 8. In 2019, the BJP emerged as the single-largest party with 40 seats. Congress won 30 seats. (ANI)
