After securing a third consecutive victory in Haryana, the BJP is now engaged in the process of forming a new government. The top leadership has officially endorsed Nayab Singh Saini as the candidate for Chief Minister.

Recently, Anil Vij had also claimed that he could be a candidate for the Chief Minister position, but he later stepped back from that assertion. He stated that if the top leadership discusses his potential candidacy, he would certainly work towards making Haryana the best state in the country.

When asked if he was in talks regarding his political future, Vij clarified that he was not currently in discussions with anyone. He expressed his willingness to accept any decision made by the party's top leadership.

“I will diligently fulfil any responsibility assigned to me by the leadership,” he said.

In the recent Haryana Assembly elections, the BJP achieved a remarkable victory, winning 48 out of the 90 assembly seats, and defying all exit polls. This marks the party's third consecutive term in the state, and despite an anti-incumbency wave, the BJP managed to secure an outright majority.
