In a show of political strength, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate Aseem Goel filed his nomination papers for the Ambala City Assembly seat today. The event, attended by Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Saini, drew thousands of supporters and marked the beginning of the BJP's formal election campaign in the constituency.
The nomination process for the Haryana Assembly elections has begun and will continue until September 12. Goel, the incumbent MLA from Ambala City, arrived at the Sub-Divisional Magistrate's office accompanied by CM Saini and a large contingent of party workers and supporters.
The atmosphere was festive as Goel was welcomed with traditional honors. Party workers presented him with a sword, while others offered flower bouquets. CM Saini was honored with a turban, symbolizing respect and leadership. Addressing the gathered crowd, CM Saini took the opportunity to criticize the previous Hooda government, highlighting what he perceived as its shortcomings. He then praised Goel's contributions to Ambala's development, expressing confidence in the candidate's prospects for re-election.
"Aseem Goel has given new momentum to Ambala's development," Saini stated. "I am fully confident that on October 5, the people of Ambala will elect Goel with a significant majority."
For his part, Goel expressed gratitude to the people of Ambala for their support. He promised to campaign on the issue of development, stating, "Once again, the lotus will bloom in the state on October 8. We will go to the people with the agenda of development, and Ambala will see a shower of progress."
The BJP's early start in the nomination process stands in contrast to the Congress party, which has yet to announce its candidate for the Ambala City seat. Goel seized on this delay, suggesting it indicated internal pressures within the Congress. "The Congress is under pressure," he remarked. "They have about 70 potential candidates, all of whom consider themselves chief ministerial candidates. Even now, they've only announced 9 candidates, with many more yet to be declared. This clearly shows that Congress is losing."
As the election date approaches, all eyes will be on Ambala City to see if Goel can translate this early momentum into electoral success. The coming weeks will likely see intensified campaigning from all parties as they vie for the support of Ambala's voters in this crucial assembly election.
