Ahead of the Assembly election in Haryana, the All India Congress Committee (AICC) has appointed Ashok Gehlot, Ajay Maken, and Partap Singh Bajwa as observers on Saturday (September 14, 2024).
In a press release, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge said the three senior observers will ensure a smooth process in the upcoming Haryana Assembly elections, with immediate effect.
Earlier, the Congress issued 40 more candidates late on Wednesday (September 11, 2024) night, fielding former Deputy Chief Minister Chandra Mohan from Panchkula, Nirmal Singh from Ambala city and Vikas Saharan from Kalayat.
In the first list of 32 candidates for the Assembly election in Haryana, the Congress fielded Olympic wrestler Vinesh Phogat from the Julana constituency and former Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda from Garhi Sampla-Kiloi. Reposing faith in all its MLAs, the party said it would give ticket to all the 28 sitting MLAs, besides four others.
The election for Haryana’s 90-member Assembly is scheduled for October 5, 2024.
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Wednesday (September 18, 2024) said he was deeply shocked by media reports of a BJP leader’s threat that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi would meet the same fate as his grandmother Indira Gandhi and a Shiv Sena (Eknath Shinde group) MLA announcing a bounty for chopping off the Leader of Opposition’s (LoP) tongue, among other intimidatory comments.
