The Congress released its third list of 40 candidates for the October 5 Haryana Assembly elections on Wednesday night. In the wee hours, around 2 am, the party released five more candidates. Today is the last day of filing nominations. Four seats are yet to be declared.
With this, the Congress has declared a total of 86 candidates for the polls to the 90-member assembly.
Although, from the list it appeared that the party high command has attempted to strike a balance between Bhupinder Singh Hooda and Kumari Selja’s factions, a few of the FOUR seats, where candidates were yet to be announced, are being perceived as Selja’s stronghold.
The FOUR seats where the Congress yet to name candidates include Uklana – from where Kumari Selja was also keen to contest if the party high command considers her as a nominee in the assembly polls – Narnaund, Sohna, and Bhiwani.
Nirmal Singh has been fielded from Ambala City constituency. In 2019, Bhupinder Singh Hooda had vehemently supported Singh’s candidature, but failed, apparently due to Selja’s opposition. Dejected Nirmal Singh, a former minister, contested as Independent from Ambala City but lost to BJP’s Aseem Goel.
From Panchkula seat, the Congress has fielded BJP leader Kuldeep Bishnoi’s elder brother and Haryana’s former chief minister Bhajan Lal’s son Chandermohan, a close aide of Kumari Selja. Chandermohan had lost to BJP’s Gian Chand Gupta in 2019. Both are again pitched against each other once again.
