“To get 55% vote is a great sign of people’s support and trust. It is a great honour. The people of Haryana have given more than I asked for,” he said thanking the state for the BJP sweeping all Lok Sabha seats last summer. He said Haryana had benefitted from “double engine growth in the last five years” with BJP govts both at the Centre and the state.
“Haryana needs Manohar Lal Khattar. In last 5 years in Haryana, there has been a concerted attack on graft and dynastic politics, unemployment. Haryana backs BJP because of the party’s track record in the past five years,” Modi said to the cheers of the crowd. “Manohar Lal Khattar has given Haryana new direction, new energy,” He said his govt does not waver when it comes to taking decisions for the country. Modi said no session of Parliament had passed so many bills as the last session and thanked all parties. He said the govt was able to take decisions because the people are convinced that it has no other agenda.
