It was celebration time for the BJP in the Ambala Cantonment after former Haryana Home Minister and BJP candidate Anil Vij won the election for the seventh time on Tuesday.
With the slogans of ‘Gabbar is Back’ for BJP’s Anil Vij, party workers burst firecrackers, danced to the beats of the dhol and took out a victory march in the Sadar area.
The BJP workers said it was not less than a Diwali for them as their senior leader had won the seat.
BJP leader Ajay Baweja said, “We were confident that our senior leader Anil Vij will secure a victory by a comfortable margin and we are thankful to the people of Ambala that they have supported us. Some people tried to create an atmosphere of uncertainity but they forgot that the BJP has a strong cadre in Ambala Cantonment, who works silently on the ground.”
Anil Vij’s brother, Kapil Vij, who was also seen dancing and playing the ‘dhol’, said, “My brother has worked all his life for the people of Ambala Cantonment and brought a number of development projects here. The people of Ambala have seen the development and the smooth completion of the ongoing projects, so they have elected the BJP.”
Similarly in Ladwa, the party workers burst crackers, distributed sweets and danced to the songs to express their happiness on Nayab Saini’s victory. The party workers said they were happy because Ladwa was now the CM’s segment. The party workers accorded a rousing welcome to Nayab Saini at the party office.
In Thanesar, Shahabad and Pehowa constituencies of Kurukshetra and Ambala City, Mullana and the Naraingarh Assembly constituencies of Ambala, the Congress workers and their newly elected MLAs, took out victory processions. The party workers were seen dancing to the beats of ‘dhol’, distributing sweets and greeting one another.
Congress Thanesar candidate Ashok Arora who defeated BJP’s Subhash Sudha, thanked the people of Thanesar and the party workers for the support and said, “I will always be very grateful.”
