On Tuesday, prominent leaders including Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini and state Congress president Udai Bhan filed their nomination for the Haryana elections. 

Two INDIA bloc allies, Aam Aadmi Party and Congress decided not to forge an alliance for the polls in Haryana after which the Arvind Kejriwal-led party released its second and third lists of 20 candidates. 

In Jammu and Kashmir, Bharatiya Janata Party's J&K chief, Ravindra Raina is seeking re-election from the Nowshera assembly constituency of Rajouri district in Jammu and Kashmir. But he faces a major challenge from his former party colleague Surinder Choudhary who is fighting the polls on a National Conference ticket and enjoys backing by the Congress.

The Congress and National Conference have come together to fight the polls in the Union Territory. Under a seat-sharing formula, NC will contest 51 seats while the Congress will field its candidates on 32 seats.
