People may call our victory a miracle, but our hard work is behind it.’ This is the statement of Haryana BJP in-charge Satish Poonia. After the formation of BJP government for the third time, Satish Poonia, in a special conversation with The Daily Guardian, shares every detail of his journey from becoming the state in-charge to the BJP’s third consecutive government in Haryana. When asked about Naib Singh Saini potentially becoming Chief Minister again, he stated that they campaigned under his leadership, but the final decision is made during the Legislative Party meeting. Here are the edited excerpts from the interview:
Question: When you were made in-charge of Haryana, what challenges did you face at that time and how did overcome those challenges?
Answer: I was made incharge of Haryana just a few days before the Lok Sabha elections. Till that time, the concept was that BJP is going to play a losing game in Haryana. After that, I got less time, but for the Lok Sabha elections, we looked at the previous election results and the mood of the public. After that, I came to the conclusion that we can win 8 out of 10 Lok Sabha seats here. When the results came, we lost three more seats. However, BJP lost these three seats by a margin of only 20-22 thousand. In this context, we observed that in the Lok Sabha election results, we secured 44 seats at the assembly level. We viewed these results positively, and now the outcomes of the assembly elections are evident to the nation.
Question: Losing five seats in the Lok Sabha must have significantly affected your morale.
