Surrounded by his supporters, he was seen meeting children and getting pictures clicked with them at Gita Vidya Mandir polling station.

If someone is not happy with my popularity, it is not my fault. They (Congress workers) should not object to such things as people are free to use any mode of transport — Naveen Jindal, BJP MP

Jindal, a polo player, said, “People use different modes of transport to reach polling station. Since my house is near the polling station, I decided to go on the horse. I am fond of horseriding and it is also considered auspicious. I am confident that brave and aware people of Haryana have blessed the BJP and we will form the government for the third time and transform Haryana. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and CM Nayab Saini, the BJP will work for all sections of the society.”

As Jindal drew the attention of the people, some Congress workers stationed near the polling station raised objection and claimed that the BJP MP was trying to influence the voters.

However, Jindal retorted, “If someone is not happy with my popularity, it is not my fault. I was just interacting with mediapersons. They should not object on such things and people can use any mode of transport.”

About his mother Savitri Jindal, who is contesting the election as an Independent candidate from Hisar, the Kurukshetra BJP MP said, “The blessings of my mother are always with me and my good wishes are with her. I have fulfilled my duties and campaigned for the BJP across the state.”

Meanwhile, Gujarat Governor Acharya Devvrat, along with his family members, also cast his vote in Kurukshetra.

Thanesar BJP candidate Subhash Sudha and Congress candidate Ashok Arora also reached with their family members to exercise their franchise.
