He highlighted Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, stating that the country is progressing rapidly towards becoming a developed nation by 2047.

Criticising Congress’s divisive tactics based on caste and religion, Deo claimed that Haryana voters had completely rejected them.
He described the BJP’s win as a triumph for common citizens, farmers, laborers, and youth, noting that Haryana, like other states, had chosen the path of development over Congress’s legacy.
Deputy Chief Minister Arun Sao expressed gratitude to the people of Haryana for trusting Modi’s vision, leading to the defeat of Congress’s alleged misgovernance, injustice, and corruption. He promised that under Modi’s leadership, good governance would accelerate in Haryana. Sao assured that the BJP would honour the people’s mandate by meeting their aspirations. He stated that the victory was a triumph for the people’s hopes across the state and the nation, with voters demonstrating their dissatisfaction with Congress.
Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Sharma extended his congratulations to the people of Haryana and the nation, attributing Congress’s defeat to the public’s distrust of the party. Sharma promised that the BJP would work towards positive transformation and elevate Haryana’s development.
He assured that the BJP would fulfill its promises and bring progress and welfare to the state. Sharma concluded that Haryana’s electorate had decisively rejected divisive politics, endorsing the BJP’s agenda of good governance.
BJP state general secretary Sanjay Srivastava called the election results a reflection of the people’s faith in the party. He criticised Congress’s divisive tactics, claiming that Haryana voters had given a strong response to the party’s alleged conspiracy.
