Haryana Assembly Elections: Congress Names 40 Candidates, Including Randeep Surjewala’s Son

September 12, 2024: The Congress party has released its third and fourth lists of candidates for the upcoming Haryana Assembly elections. The third list includes 40 names, while the fourth has five candidates for the October 5 elections.

One of the prominent names is Aditya Surjewala, the son of Congress MP Randeep Surjewala. Aditya will be contesting from the Kaithal seat, a constituency that his father previously represented. Other notable candidates include former deputy chief minister Chander Mohan from Panchkula, Nirmal Singh from Ambala City, and Manisha Sangwan from Dadri.

Key Highlights:

  • Congress has announced candidates for 86 of the 90 Assembly seats in Haryana.
  • Aditya Surjewala will contest from Kaithal, continuing his family’s political legacy.
  • The remaining four seats—Sohna, Bhiwani, Narnaund, and Uklana—are yet to see nominations.
  • Congress and AAP have failed to reach a seat-sharing agreement, with both contesting as rivals.

In contrast, the BJP has announced candidates for all 90 seats, releasing its third list with Rohtash Jangra, Kanwar Singh Yadav, and Satish Fagna as the latest names.

The political atmosphere in Haryana is heating up as the nomination deadline approaches, with parties racing to finalize their strategies.
