Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini has ruled out the possibility of any change in the candidates announced by the BJP or allocation of party ticket for the state Assembly elections.

"Many leaders wanted the ticket, but only one can get the 'lotus' symbol from a constituency. The resentment of the others is natural, and the resentful ones will be placated," said the Chief Minister, who was in Rohtak to attend an organisational meeting at the BJP's state office on Friday.

Asked about Olympian wrestler Vinesh Phogat joining the Congress, Saini said Vinesh was the country's daughter and she could join any political party and contest elections as she wished.

He, however, alleged that the Congress indulges in politics in the name of sportspersons and soldiers.

"The Congress has realised that it cannot win the elections and it is planning to join hands with the corrupt," remarked Saini, adding that the Congress is stuck in the muck of corruption.

The Chief Minister claimed that the BJP would form the government for a third consecutive time in Haryana, adding that the party leadership had already prepared a roadmap for the state.
