CHANDIGARH, DEC 6: The BJP and Haryana Vikas Party would jointly contest the ensuing Lok Sabha election and field common candidates for all the ten Lok Sabha seats in the State, the Haryana education minister, Ram Bilas Sharma said today.
Both parties had begun preparations for these elections by constituting a joint election campaign committee yesterday, he said.
The Lok Sabha elections would be contested keeping in view Atal Behari Vajpayee as the future prime minister, he said.
“Only 18 months ago, the people of the country had given their mandate in favour of the party and Vajpayee was made the prime minister, but the opponents of BJP dishonoured that mandate and unfortunately, the country had three prime ministers within a short period”, he said.
