Sirsa (Haryana) [India], October 5 (ANI): Haryana Lokhit Party candidate from Sirsa Assembly seat Gopal Kanda on Saturday expressed confidence in winning the Haryana election from his assembly segment, saying that the people are ‘giving their blessings’.
Speaking to ANI after casting his vote for the Haryana assembly elections, Gopal Kanda said, “The mood of the people is one-sided here, they are giving their blessings. There is no contest here.”
Gopal Kanda further stated that the BJP government is going to come into power for the third time in Haryana.
“…There is a one-sided atmosphere in Sirsa. Sirsa is a religious city and every person is connected to some religious institution… There is no farmers’ issue. The Congress party has insulted the farmers a lot by giving them cheques of 2 rupees. I have seen everything very closely, no one has respected the farmers as much as Modi ji has done in this country…Our target is Congress-free Haryana and 100% government will be formed (for the third time) and we will form the government from Sirsa…I have done a lot of work, so seeing that people are voting for me,” Gopal Kanda said.
Meanwhile, former Haryana Chief Minister and Congress leader Bhupinder Singh Hooda said, “Congress is coming to power in Haryana with a huge majority. The high command will decide who will become the Chief Minister. Our government will work on unemployment, law and order, development of the state.
He also urged the people to exercise their right to vote and cast their votes peacefully. “I appeal to people to come out of their houses and cast their votes peacefully. According to the reports, people are voting in good numbers. Congress is going to form its government here,” he said.
