The BJP-JJP coalition government in Haryana will run smoothly and undertake all-round development in the state, ministers who took oath on Thursday said.
Ten legislators took oath as ministers in the Manohar Lal Khattar-led government on Thursday.
After taking oath, six-term MLA Anil Vij said, "This government will perform well. We will provide a stable government."
Replying to a question on the opposition claiming that the BJP-JJP coalition will not last long as they have different ideologies, Vij said, "Both parties are opposed to Congress and they (JJP) have always fought against them (Congress)."
On Haryana having a coalition government this time, he said, "Both parties will work together to fulfil the wishes of people who have elected us."
Former hockey captain Sandeep Singh said, "We have to take our state forward. Whatever duty is assigned to me, I will discharge it to the best of my abilities like I have been giving my best when I played hockey."
Asked about the opposition claim that the coalition government will not last its full five-year term, he said, "They have no issue. They have to pass time for five years and they will keep saying this government will not last full term, but their wish will never come true."
On the aspirations of those who could not find a berth in the council of ministers, Gurjar said, "There is a limited number who can be inducted as ministers and we had to strike a balance that includes accommodating senior leaders, striking caste and regional balance. There could not have been a better Council of Ministers than this."
