'BJP to form govt in Haryana; Sukhbir to be invited as special guest in swearing-in ceremony': Chugh

BJP leader Tarun Chugh on Monday asserted that his party will form the government in Haryana after the assembly polls and took a jibe at Sukhbir Singh Badal, saying the SAD chief will be invited as a "special guest" during the swearing-in ceremony of the saffron party-led dispensation.

A day after Badal, whose party is an NDA constituent but is contesting the Haryana polls separately, attacked the BJP and claimed that those expecting to form the government would sit in the opposition, Chugh said the saffron party will win more than 75 seats in the upcoming assembly polls.

The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) had earlier accused the BJP of backtracking from its commitment of contesting the Haryana Assembly polls jointly.

Last month, Badal had taken strong exception to the induction of Akali MLA Balkaur Singh from Kalianwali seat in Haryana into the BJP fold and had described it as "unethical."
The BJP's national secretary said,"The blessings of the people are with Modi ji and we are winning these elections. The Manohar Lal Khattar-led government has provided a "corruption-free" regime in Haryana."
When Sukhbir was asked about BJP's poll manifesto, he had said, "When (a BJP) government is not going to be formed (inHaryana) then what comments should I make."
