Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini and former CM Manohar Lal Khattar filed their nomination papers for the Karnal Assembly bypoll and Karnal Lok Sabha seat respectively on Monday. Khattar and Saini both held a roadshow in Karnal in an open decorated vehicle ahead of filing their nomination papers before the returning officer in Karnal. May 6 was the last day for the nomination filing process.
During the roadshow, CM Saini said, “There is an overwhelming public support. The BJP is getting huge support not just in Karnal but everywhere. I can say that in Haryana, eleven ‘lotuses’ (the BJP’s poll symbol) will bloom. We will win with a big mandate.” He further said that in the past 10 years, the country has moved forwards on the path of progress under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi. “If we compare Karnal of 2014 with the present-day Karnal then we can see a big difference. The double-engine government has undertaken a lot of development in the country and in the state,” added Saini.
