Cong doesn't need support for Assembly polls in Haryana:Tanwar

Haryana Congress today said it does not need any support to fight coming Assembly polls and exuded confidence that party would form the government third time in the state.
"I do not think Congress requires any support (in assembly elections)," Haryana Congress president Ashok Tanwar told reporters here.
Responding to a question whether Congress will enter into an alliance with any political party in the state to fight elections, he said, "If anybody wants to join (Congress), then he should decide first," he said.
Accepting the mandate in Lok Sabha polls in which Congress could only win one Rohtak seat out of 10 seats, Tanwar exuded confidence that Congress party would form the government in Haryana for the third time.

"We welcome the mandate but we will respond aggressively (in coming assembly polls). Despite Lok Sabha results are against us, opposition parties remain direction-less. Congress party will win elections third time," he said.
Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda, who was also present on the occasion, refuting allegations of a few party leaders of biased development in the state, said, Development took place everywhere in the state.

"Development took place everywhere in the state. The state government is not responsible for personal development of those who raise such issues (biased development). State government is responsible only towards state's development," Hooda said.

Tanwar said Congress would reach out to common man in each block and Assembly constituency and highlight public welfare policies and decisions taken by the state government and previous Congress-led UPA government.
A missed call number facility would be launched in all assembly constituencies (90 seats) whereby party would try to connect with voters, he said, adding a mass contact programme would also be launched across the state from June 5 till June 28.
