After Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia's meeting with top leaders in Delhi, signs of rebellion are emerging within Congress. Badli MLA Kuldeep Vats met with KC Venugopal in Delhi, requesting a ticket to contest again from Badli. However, Venugopal tried to persuade him, as there are plans to field Bajrang Punia from Badli instead. The BJP has released its first list of candidates for the Haryana Assembly elections, naming 67 candidates. A notable change includes CM Naib Singh Saini being shifted to contest from Ladwa, whereas he is currently an MLA from Karnal. Former Home Minister Anil Vij will contest from Ambala Cantt.
