New DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated Nayab Singh Saini on the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) victory in Haryana, marking a significant achievement for the party as it secured a third consecutive term in power. With the Haryana Assembly election results now largely in, the BJP is poised to form the government once again.
Modi, who led the party’s campaign in the state, is expected to address BJP workers and supporters later in the evening, possibly around 6 pm. The party has not yet confirmed whether this address will take place, but it is anticipated that Modi will speak from the BJP’s national headquarters, reflecting on the victory in both Haryana and Jammu & Kashmir.
The BJP’s performance in Haryana defied the earlier exit poll predictions that had forecasted a loss for the party. Initially, early trends had shown the BJP trailing significantly, with the Congress leading in more than 60 seats. However, as vote counting progressed, the BJP made a remarkable recovery.
