#Hisar polls: Thanking voters, Kuldeep Bishnoi said that Hisar had been a traditional seat won by a member of his family. "The win is basically because of my father [Bhajan Lal] and the family's track record. We have done a lot for Hisar," he said.

"The win today is a foundation stone for the formation of HJC-BJP government in the state in the future," he said. He said that the people were dejected with the ruling Congress which had discriminated with areas of the state as far as carrying on developmental works were concerned.

"(Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh) Hooda's (alleged) corrupt practices and caste politics resulted in ruling Congress nominee finishing at third place," he said.
