New Delhi: Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Sunday lauded the Narendra Modi's government and said the country has scripted a new chapter of development under his rule. He aslo said that the people of Haryana like in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, will this time too give all the 10 seats to PM Modi's kitty.

The upcoming Lok Sabha elections in Haryana, scheduled for May 25 as part of the sixth phase of the seven-phase polls, while also noting the impending assembly polls in the state later this year.

Chautala, Contesting The LS Polls From Kurukshetra
Chautala, who is contesting the Lok Sabha polls from Kurukshetra, had said that those who want to oust the BJP should join hands and put up a joint candidate. The INLD leader had said that he would be the first person to whole-heartedly support that candidate.
"He( Chautala) has to appeal the Congress and other members of 'ghamandiya gathbandhan' that they will put up a joint candidate in the polls against the BJP. They are forced to do so as Narendra Modi and Manohar Lal Khattar governments at the Centre and in Haryana have done so many works for public welfare", Saini said, as per PTI.
CM Saini dismissed the opposition's attempts to unite against the BJP, asserting that their endeavors would ultimately prove futile, saying, "I want to tell the INLD leader that this kind of agenda (experiment) had earlier been used by the 'ghamandiya gathbandhan' in Uttar Pradesh where they failed because Modi ji's works speak for themselves", he remarked.
CM Nayab Singh Saini expressed confidence that the people of Haryana would overwhelmingly support the BJP in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, ensuring victory in all 10 parliamentary seats and playing a pivotal role in re-electing Narendra Modi as Prime Minister for the third term.
The bypoll for the Karnal assembly seat, vacated by former Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar following his resignation, is scheduled for May 25.
Khattar resigned as an MLA from the Karnal assembly seat, which he won twice in 2014 and 2019, on Wednesday after he was replaced by Saini as the chief minister. Khattar has been named as the BJP candidate from the Karnal Lok Sabha constituency. While vacating the Karnal assembly seat for Saini, Khattar had said the newly-appointed chief minister will take care of the constituency now, reported PTI.
The BJP on Tuesday replaced Khattar with OBC leader Saini as Haryana's chief minister in a swift switch in the state, just weeks ahead of the Lok Sabha polls
