Will try our best for non-BJP govt in Haryana: Kharge

Bengaluru: Senior Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge on Thursday asserted the party has “good numbers” in Haryana and efforts will be made to ensure that a non-BJP government is formed in the state.
He made the comments as the BJP and Congress are in a neck-to-neck fight, with both parties failing to cross the majority mark of 46 in the 90-member state assembly.
“This indicates that people have a different opinion about the BJP. People thought they will redress the grievances of people. But that was not there and people are shifting away from the BJP,” Kharge told ANI.
“We will try our best for a non-BJP government. We have good numbers. We need to keep the BJP away because they will use all tactics to remain in power. In Maharashtra and Haryana, they (BJP) are not getting the numbers what they had expected,” he said.
Kharge remarked that a meeting will be held with Congress leaders at 4 pm today to discuss the next course of action.
Accusing the BJP of “destroying democracy”, the Congress leader said, “They are autocratic, dividing the people and taking representatives from Congress, NCP and other parties. This means that they do not have their own strength. This is not the way. People are not accepting their ideology.”
