Voters should choose BJP Candidate if they want a bright future for country, says Khattar
Stating that Bharatiya Janata Party -led Government will return to power at the Centre because people have seen the work they did over the past 10 years versus six decades of Congress rule, former Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Wednesday said that voters should choose the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) if they want a bright future for the country.
“The work which Congress could not do in so many years was done by the (Prime Minister Narendra) Modi government in 10 years,” he said. The senior BJP leader emphasised that the party is in a strong position not only in Haryana but the entire country. The BJP-led alliance will form the government with more than 400 seats. The people of the country want to see Narendra Modi as the PM for the third time,” Khattar said.
