Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday said BJP will fight the upcoming Haryana Assembly election alone under the leadership of Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, and exuded confidence the party will come back to power with full majority for its third consecutive term.

Addressing BJP leaders and workers during a meeting of the party’s extended state executive in Panchkula here, he said they should have no doubt that BJP will have no tie-up for the state polls which are due before October this year.

The party does not need any crutches, party sources quoted Shah having said.

Under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the leadership of Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, BJP will form government in the state for the third time with full majority, Shah told the workers.
