After the lok Sabha polls in Haryana, political parties have started gearing up for the Assembly elections which are due in October this year. The Indian National lok Dal (INlD), main Opposition party in Haryana, has called a meeting of its State executive in Delhi on April 15. 

State party president Ashok Arora said that in this meeting party would not only discuss the recent elections but also chalk out further strategy for the upcoming Assembly elections in the State.  “We have called all our MlAs, former MlAs, members of State executive, district presidents of rural and urban areas and in charge of various cells in this meeting at Delhi”, added Arora. 

Similarly, BJP has also called an emergency meeting of all the lok Sabha candidates, organisers and other senior members in the party on April 12 at Gymkhana Club in Gurgaon under the leadership of State president Ram Bilas Sharma. State BJP in-charge Jagdish Mukhi, assistant in-charge Anil Jain, president of election organising committee Manohar lal Khattar and general secretary Suresh Bhatt will also be present there.

Vir Kumar Yadav, State spokesperson of BJP told The Pioneer that though this meeting has been called entirely for the assessment of recent lok Sabha elections, yet as the Assembly elections which are also due in this year and can take place any time, hence, the serious matters related to Assembly elections would also be discussed in this meeting. Former Union Minister and senior leader of Haryana Congress Vinod Sharma, who had left his parent party before lok Sabha elections, may also announce the name of his new party soon, for the upcoming Assembly elections.

He had already covered State during his rathyatra before parliamentary polls and had called the series of meetings with his probable generals for his new party, who are also leaders from northern, southern and central Haryana few days back.
