Ambala: Haryana Minister Anil Vij on Wednesday said that Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has won 25 seats out of 32 in the municipal elections.
Speaking with the reporters Anil Vij said that the ruling party also managed to win the mayoral post from Ambala, along with eight other places in the state.
He also said, “In the municipal elections, BJP won 25 of the 32 seats and the Mayor seat with a thumping majority (in Ambala). People of Ambala Cantt have rewarded me for my efforts to develop the area.”
Claiming “conspiracy” against him ahead of the 2024 assembly elections, Vij said that people in his constituency set an example by electing him for the seventh time.
“In the Vidhan Sabha elections, a few traitors hatched a conspiracy. Despite that, they (people) made me win for the seventh time and set an example. BJP has won the election with the majority. We will seek the cooperation of both the councillors who have won and lost. Together, we will take Ambala Cantt to new heights of development,” the minister said.
Vij further stated that the BJP’s win in the municipal elections was indicative of the non-existence of opposition parties in Haryana.
“BJP has swept the elections in most places where polls were held. This indicates that the opposition parties ceased to exist in Haryana. People have shunned them and their negative politics,” he added.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Haryana has swept the elections to local bodies, with its candidates winning mayoral posts in nine places, including Rohtak, Sonipat, Gurugram, Faridabad, Panipat, Yamunanagar, Ambala, Hisar and Karnal. The voting took place on March 2.
