Haryana elections: BJP MP Naveen Jindal cast his vote in the Haryana Assembly elections today and voiced his confidence in the party's success, asserting that the people of Haryana would favour the BJP. After casting his vote, Jindal, representing Kurukshetra, expressed his optimism by stating, "The enthusiasm among the people is overwhelming. We are delighted that the citizens are casting their votes today, and I am sure that the brave and informed people of Haryana will bless the BJP. Haryana will see Nayab Singh Saini continue as Chief Minister."

Jindal arrived at the polling booth riding a horse, which he remarked was considered auspicious. He added, "I came here on horseback as a symbol of good fortune. My mother, Savitri Jindal, who is contesting from Hisar, is committed to doing a lot for the region. The people of Hisar will decide who they want to represent them."

When asked about the party's chief ministerial candidate for Haryana, Jindal responded, "Anil Vij is also a prominent leader within our party. Time will reveal who takes the Chief Minister's role, but any significant leader has the right to voice their opinion."

Voting for 90 assembly seats began today, with a reported voter turnout of 9.53% by 9 AM, according to the Election Commission of India. Jind recorded the highest turnout at 12.71%, followed by Palwal, Ambala, and other districts.

Meanwhile, former Haryana CM Manohar Lal Khattar criticised the Congress after casting his vote, accusing them of lies and corruption, which he claimed led to unemployment. He highlighted that the BJP had improved job opportunities during its tenure.

The BJP is seeking its third consecutive term, with Nayab Singh Saini leading the charge in Ladwa.
