Rohtak | Jhajjar | Palwal: Pradesh ka imaandaar mukhyamantri, naam Manohar kaam manohar (state’s honest chief minister, whose name is Manohar and work is charming) – such slogans are now customary at Haryana CM Manohar Lal’s rallies, which he addresses at the rate of more than half a dozen a day as he is seeking a second term.Such slogans reverberated at all three of Lal’s rallies that ET attended on Wednesday – in Meham in Rohtak, Badli in Jhajjar and Hathin in Palwal. At Palwal, where he completed 55 rallies this month, the CM introduced a new slogan.“People have started to say EVM means ‘every vote for Modi’. But some say Modi ji's election is now done. So I tell them you can change your slogan – EVM meaning ‘every vote for Manohar’. Is that OK?” Lal asked a boisterous crowd at Hathin.Speaking to ET on the sidelines of the Meham rally, Lal exuded confidence that the BJP would comfortably cross the 75 mark in the 90-seat assembly. “I have 24 more rallies to go this week. The public decided its mind six months ago,” he said. Meham, which neighbours former CM and Congress leader Bhupinder Singh Hooda ’s home constituency, Garhi Sampla-Kiloi, is significant for Lal since he was born in a village falling under this seat but the BJP has never won in this Congress stronghold.“Haryana’s 2.5 crore people are not my janta (public) but my parivar (family). This seat is special for me as I was born in a village here 65 years ago. I fight from Karnal but I want my party to win this seat,” Lal told the crowd.Local BJP leaders, who have known Lal for long, said he has come a long way from serving the BJP in Haryana since 1996, in roles such as the state organisation general secretary. “Now he is looking to establish himself as a secondterm chief minister. This is the most crucial election for him,” said a local leader.At Palwal, Lal seemed most enthused about the crowd he got at his earlier rally in Muslim-dominated Nuh for the party's much-talked about candidate, Nauksham Chaudhary. Scrapping of Article 370, the “anaap-shanaap (nonsense)” Congress manifesto and a comparison of his five-year rule to “48 years of misrule” earlier comprised key themes of Lal’s speeches. Lashing out at the Congress for promising doles worth Rs 1.26 lakh crore in its manifesto, Lal said at his Palwal rally that the Congress cannot arrange funds of this order even in “chaar janam (four lives)”. “Terrorism in J&K will be finished after Article 370 has been scrapped,” Lal said in Meham. “This is being spoken about in every household of Haryana as we have a soldier in every house. But Congress does not want us to talk about this..”
