He also thanked the people of Ladwa constituency and the entire 2.80 crore population of Haryana. Saini attributed the victory to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, stating that the people of Haryana have shown their support for PM Modi's policies.
"I want to thank the people of Ladwa and the 2.80 crore population of Haryana. The credit for this victory goes to PM Modi. The people of Haryana have put a stamp on the policies of PM Modi," Saini said. "I will go to take the certificate and then offer prayers to Lord Krishna at Jyotisar temple. The 2.80 crore people of Haryana have chosen this government and we will move forward under the leadership of PM Modi," he added.
BJP dismisses Congress's concerns over Haryana poll results delay
Meanwhile, the BJP on Tuesday made light of the Congress raising the issue of "unexplained slowdown" of the Haryana poll results on the Election Commission website as the opposition party's attempt to build excuses for its impending defeat in the state elections. BJP spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi asserted that the trends in the counting of votes have made it clear that the ruling party is heading for a "glorious, decisive and historic" mandate in Haryana and will notch up its best ever show in Jammu and Kashmir.
BJP initiates govt formation efforts
Meanwhile, the BJP has initiated efforts to form the government. Haryana in-charge and Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Tuesday arrived at the residence of former Haryana CM Manohar Lal Khattar. Other senior leaders including Union Minister Jitin Prasad and Haryana BJP co-incharge Surendra Nagar also reached Khattar's residence.
