Haryana Congress president Ashok Tanwar Tuesday claimed that his party's candidate will be elected as the next MLA from Jind and defeat will trigger exodus of BJP legislators following which the Manohar Lal Khattar government in the state will fall.
"Randeep Singh Surjewala will win the Jind bypoll with a handsome margin. Once the results are out on Thursday, a loss will trigger exodus of the ruling BJP MLAs because already resentment is brewing among several legislators and they themselves will bring down this anti-people regime," he claimed.
The BJP government in Haryana has 47 MLAs in the 90-member House.
Replying to a question, the former Sirsa MP said, "Some legislators of the BJP are also in touch with us."
When asked who will take responsibility in case the Congress fails to win the Jind bypolls, Tanwar replied, "As the party's state unit president, I will take the responsibility, but that situation is not going to come."
