Panchkula: Haryana Chief Minister Manohar
Lal Khattar today said Assembly election in the state would be
held in 2019 as per its schedule and the question of holding
it this year does not arise.
Haryana is fully ready for holding Vidhan Sabha election
simultaneously with the Lok Sabha elections next year, he
claimed.
"Assembly polls will be held in 2019 in Haryana as per
its scheduled time... no question of holding the polls this
year," Khattar told reporters here.
On the proposed three-day visit of BJP president Amit
Shah to Haryana from February 15, Khattar said the visit was
finalised during his visit to Rohtak last year.
Khattar said the BJP is strong at the grassroots level
with 30 lakh members and 30,000 active workers in Haryana and
the party's base would be strengthened further for the ensuing
Assembly elections.
