BJP releases second list of candidates ahead of elections in battleground Haryana; Sanjay Singh to contest from Nuh

The Bhartiya Janata Party on Tuesday released its second list of candidates for the upcoming Haryana state elections, with Pawan Saini contesting from the Naraingarh seat.

Sanjay Singh has been chosen to run for the Nuh seat in the state, the district that was gripped by communal violence in 2023.

Other notable candidates featuring in the second list of the saffron party include Satpal Jamba from Pundri, Yogendra Rana from Assandh, Krishna Gahlawat from Rai and Bimla Chaudhary from Pataudi.


In the 2019 elections, the BJP, holding 40 of the 90 assembly seats,forged an alliance with the Jannayak Janta Party (JJP), which won 10 seats, to form a coalition government.

The Congress, meanwhile, secured 31 seats. However, the BJP-JJP alliance was dissolved earlier this year.
