Rohtak: Haryana’s ruling BJP said on Saturday that it was capable of fighting the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections on its own and was focussing on winning all the 10 parliamentary seats in the state.
“The BJP is capable of contesting and winning the elections on its own,” the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) state in-charge Anil Jain told media after a meeting of party leaders here.
The meeting was attended by senior party leader Kalraj Mishra, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, state BJP president Subhash Barala, ministers and legislators.
“We are focussing on winning all 10 Lok Sabha seats in the state,” Khattar told reporters.
Barala said that the opposition parties had no issues for the forthcoming elections, alleging that the Congress and Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) were even unable to find candidates to field in the elections.
The BJP has been in power in Haryana since October 2014, while it had won seven out of the 10 Lok Sabha seats in the 2014 parliamentary elections.
The INLD won two seats and the Congress bagged one seat.
