Backed by independents, HLP, Saini wins trust vote in Haryana

In Haryana’s 90-member House, the Saini led BJP government attained absolute majority citing a strength of 48 MLAs. The BJP has 41 MLAs and it got support of six out of the seven Independents and lone MLA of Haryana Lokhit Party, Gopal Kanda.

In his maiden address in Vidhan Sabha, Saini said, “I come from a humble family background, no one is in politics in my family. I am just a party worker of the BJP and today I have been given such a big opportunity. I must say that this can be only possible in a party like the BJP.”

“Today I have come here for the first time. I thank PM Narendra Modi, party president J P Nadda, Amit Shah and all the Union Ministers, our Manohar Lal ji who have sent me to this position; and I would like to appeal to all the members of this house to support us. I would like to say that even the people of Haryana have confidence in us,” he said. Comparing the functioning of BJP with other parties, Saini said, “Many times we have seen that in such situations there’s always a thought that who is going to take the CM’s place? Obviously, my son… but this is the BJP, where such an ordinary party worker like me has been brought here.”
