Former Kurukshetra MP Naveen Jindal and Independent MLA Ranjit Chautala Join BJP

In a significant turn of events, former Kurukshetra MP Naveen Jindal and Independent MLA Ranjit Chautala joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in Haryana. This move has dealt a major blow to the Congress party in the state.

The decision to join the BJP came after the party's Central Election Committee, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, approved Jindal and Chautala as the saffron party's candidates for the Kurukshetra and Hisar Lok Sabha seats, respectively. Jindal, a two-term Congress MP, expressed his gratitude upon joining the BJP, emphasising his commitment to contributing to national development under the leadership of PM Modi.

Ranjit Chautala, the son of former Deputy Prime Minister Devi Lal and an Independent MLA from Rania, also made the switch to the BJP, further strengthening the party's position in the state. The timing of their defection, just ahead of the elections, adds a significant twist to the political landscape of Haryana. 

The BJP's decision to field Jindal and Chautala as its candidates highlights the party's strategic approach towards the upcoming polls. With Jindal's experience as a former MP and Chautala's political lineage, the BJP aims to consolidate its position in both Kurukshetra and Hisar constituencies.

Meanwhile, the Congress party, which had previously held sway in these regions, faces a setback with the defection of Jindal and Chautala. Their move to the BJP reflects a shift in political allegiances and highlights the growing influence of the saffron party in Haryana.

As the election season heats up, all eyes are on the BJP's campaign strategy and the response from rival political factions. With Jindal and Chautala now part of its fold, the BJP looks poised to make significant gains in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in Haryana.
