Who was given the ticket from where?
Vinesh Phogat had joined Congress today
Earlier on Friday, Olympic wrestler Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia had joined hands with Congress. Now, the party has fielded wrestler Vinesh Phogat in the Haryana assembly elections.
Meva Singh will challenge CM Naib Saini
Congress has fielded Meva Singh from Ladwa assembly constituency, who will challenge CM Naib Saini. BJP has fielded Naib Saini from Ladwa. However, Saini wanted to contest from Karnal.
Amarjit Dhanda is an MLA
At present, Amarjit Dhanda of JJP is the MLA from Julana seat. JJP has made him the candidate this time too. BJP has not yet announced the candidate from this seat. In the 2019 elections, Dhanda defeated BJP’s Parminder Singh Dhul. He got 61 thousand 942 votes. Parminder Singh got 37 thousand 749 votes. Congress candidate Dharmendra Singh Dhul was in third place. He got 12 thousand 440 votes.
In the 2014 elections, INLD’s Parminder Singh Dhull had won from here. Congress’ Dharmendra Singh Dhull was in second place. BSP was in third place and BJP was in fourth place.
Congress last won in Julana in 2005
In the 2009 elections too, INLD’s Parminder Singh Dhul had won. Congress was in second place. Earlier, in the 2000 and 2005 elections, Congress candidate Sher Singh had won. In 2005, independent candidate Parminder Singh Dhul was in second place. In 2000, INLD’s Suraj Bhan Kajal was in second place.
This time Congress is hoping that with the help of Vinesh Phogat, Congress will get sympathy votes and it will win this seat. In fact, Phogat is the first female wrestler to reach the Olympic final.
Recently, she was disqualified in the 50 kg weight category at the Paris Olympics after being found to be about 100 grams overweight. Later, Vinesh Phogat announced her retirement from the sport.
Congress has given tickets to three Muslim leaders
Out of these 31 candidates, Congress has given tickets to three Muslim leaders. Congress has nominated Aftab Ahmed from Nuh seat of Haryana, Maman Khan from Ferozepur Jhirka seat and Mohammad Ilyas from Punhana assembly seat as its candidates.
Congress played safe game
Most of the names in the list released by Congress are of current MLAs. Congress has announced candidates on those seats where there was no dispute. The remaining seats have been put on hold. Candidates have not yet been announced on the four seats of Gurugram.
Congress gave ticket to jailed MLA Surendra Pawar, who was arrested by ED
Congress has given ticket to Surendra Panwar from Sonipat. He is the current MLA from here. He is currently in jail. He was arrested by ED in the month of July. ED had conducted raids in a case related to illegal mining. After this, the Congress MLA was arrested while taking action.
Most of the sitting MLAs got tickets
Congress’s first list for Haryana was released on Friday (September 6). The first list includes the names of 31 candidates. Bhupendra Hooda has been given a ticket from Garhi Sampla. Vinesh Phogat has been made a candidate from Julana. Most of the current MLAs have been given tickets in the first list. Lalu Yadav’s son-in-law Chiranjiv Rao has been given a ticket from Rewari. He is the current MLA from this seat.
Randeep Surjewala and Kumari Selja did not get ticket in Congress’ first list
Congress has not yet fielded any candidate on the Haryana assembly seats on which Randeep Singh Surjewala and Kumari Selja are staking their claim. In fact, Haryana Congress veteran Randeep Singh Surjewala is staking his claim from his traditional seat Kaithal and Congress has not announced the name of any candidate from this seat in the first list.
Similarly, Kumari Selja, Lok Sabha MP from Sirsa, Haryana, has also expressed her desire to contest the assembly elections. Selja wants to stake her claim from a constituency in Sirsa. However, Congress has not announced the name of the candidate from this seat in the first list. In such a situation, it has to be seen whether Congress will give tickets to these two MPs in the next lists or not. Because this is only the first list of Congress, more lists are yet to come.
Bajrang Punia will campaign for the party
Bajrang Punia’s name is also not in the first list of Congress. He also joined Congress along with Vinesh Phogat on Friday. It is believed that Bajrang Punia will campaign for the party. Bajrang was appointed the working president of the party’s All India Kisan Congress before the announcement of the ticket.
BJP has released the list of candidates

In this, BJP has given ticket to Chief Minister Naib Singh Saini from Ladwa assembly seat. Apart from this, former Home Minister Anil Vij has been fielded from Ambala Cantt.
