Senior BJP leader Anil Vij has announced his intention to stake a claim for the Chief Minister's post in Haryana, citing public demand and his seniority. Despite the BJP already naming Nayab Singh Saini as their chief ministerial candidate, Vij insists he will present his claim if the party wins the upcoming assembly elections. Vij, a six-time MLA, emphasized his extensive experience and commitment to transforming Haryana's destiny if given the chance. Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan reiterated the party's support for Saini, dismissing Vij's aspirations as a personal opinion. The Haryana Assembly elections are scheduled for October 5, with results to be declared on October 8.
