Vij dismisses opposition manoeuvres in UP, says BJP set for another term; asserts party will also win Punjab

Ambala, Nov 13 (UNI) Dismissing talk of possible political alliances among opposition parties ahead of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, Haryana Cabinet Minister Anil Vij on Friday asserted that the BJP was poised to return to power in the state, saying that political meetings and electoral understandings among rivals would make no difference to the party's prospects.
Taking aim at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over his challenge to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for a debate, Vij said Parliament was the appropriate forum for elected representatives to debate issues, but opposition leaders either created disruptions or walked out instead of participating in discussions.
Speaking to mediapersons, Vij said the BJP was fully prepared for the upcoming Punjab Assembly elections and would emerge victorious there as well. Reacting to the Aam Aadmi Party's announcement of its candidate list, he said it was an internal matter of the AAP and had no bearing on the BJP's preparations.
Vij also hit back at Digvijay Chautala over his remarks concerning Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini's visit to Punjab, saying that leaders and parties rejected by the electorate had no moral standing to offer advice.
He maintained that the BJP had selected Saini as Chief Minister after due consideration and that the decision was an internal matter of the party.
On the reported discussions involving the Bhim Army and AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi ahead of the Uttar Pradesh polls, Vij reiterated that the BJP would form the government again, regardless of the political meetings or alignments taking place among its rivals. UNI KK CDS
