Earlier this month, Union Home Minister Amit Shah announced that the BJP will not form any alliances for the upcoming Haryana Assembly polls. "Remove this doubt from your mind that we will go with anyone or take anyone's support, rather, we will form the BJP government with an absolute majority," Shah stated.

In a post on X, Shah highlighted the developmental progress in Haryana over the past decade. "Today I interacted with the energetic workers of Haryana at the BJP Executive meeting in Panchkula (Haryana). In the last 10 years, Haryana has seen a new era of welfare and development of farmers, poor, deprived, and backward people, leaving behind the rule of cuts, commissions, and corruption," he said.

"Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji, the workers of Haryana BJP are determined to go door-to-door and conduct an extensive public relations campaign to ensure that this time the BJP wins the state with a two-thirds majority," Amit Shah added.
