Speaking on the forthcoming Haryana municipal council polls, state minister Anil Vij claims that all the national and regional parties, including Congress, have opted out of the race.
Vij attributed their withdrawal to the growing popularity of the BJP in the region.
"In the municipal council elections, all national parties, including Congress and regional parties, have fled from the field," Vij said.
"Scared of BJP's popularity, they are not fielding their candidates," he added.
Vij emphasised that both the central and state governments are led by the BJP, and he believes that the party's dominance will continue in local elections.
"There is a BJP government in the centre; there is a BJP government in the state, too; now, people have made up their minds that they will bring BJP into the municipal council, too, so that the government can run without any hindrance," he added.
