Chandigarh: Haryana CM Manohar Lal Khattar said on Thursday the BJP's win in the Jind by-election indicated the people's faith in his government and predicted that the party would win all Lok Sabha seats in the state.
"The comprehensive win of the BJP in the bypolls is a clear indication of the increasing faith of the people in the state government's transparent and graft-free governance and uniform development policy," Khattar told reporters here.
"The people of Jind also continued with the same trend as was followed during the massive victory of the BJP in elections to five municipal corporations held recently. I'm confident that the party will win all the 10 seats from the state in the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections," the chief minister said. The BJP won the high-stakes bypoll, which also saw the newly-floated Jannayak Janata Party scoring convincingly higher than parent party INLD and Congress candidate Randeep Singh Surjewala settling for the third spot. Khattar said the BJP's first major victory in Jind was a "clear indication" that the people had accepted the party's working culture.
