Chandigarh: Haryana Congress on Monday said it did 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 would 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.
