Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Wednesday met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and credited him for the historic BJP hat-trick in Haryana.

Attributing the party's unprecedented performance in the state to PM's politics of performance and good governance and his philosophy of "taking everyone along", Saini described the meeting as a courtesy.

Saini also met BJP chief JP Nadda and Home Minister Amit Shah.

हरियाणा के मुख्यमंत्री नायब सिंह सैनी जी से मिला और विधानसभा चुनाव में भाजपा को मिली ऐतिहासिक जीत के लिए उन्हें बधाई और शुभकामनाएं दीं। मुझे विश्वास है कि विकसित भारत के संकल्प में हरियाणा की भूमिका और महत्वपूर्ण होने जा रही है।@NayabSainiBJP pic.twitter.com/voASwVTVHL

Sources said discussions on Cabinet and government formation will happen once a meeting of the BJP legislature party is called and observers appointed for election of the leader.

BJP leaders said Saini would be retained as CM in all likelihood with PM signalling the same by dialling him yesterday and crediting him and former CM ML Khattar for the party's performance in the state.

Sources told The Tribune that the PM was closely involved with party strategy and even spoke to all booth level workers of BJP Haryana personally to motivate them to mobilise voter support and focus on the BJP's good governance and all inclusive growth as key narratives in the state elections.

PM also told booth workers of the party to remain unfazed in the face of opposition onslaught with respect to jawan-kisan-pehelwan.
