[Chd,Hary] Congress Promotes Spokesperson Randeep Surjewala for Jind Bypoll ,scheduled to be held on January 28
The BJP and the Congress on Wednesday announced the names of their candidates for the by-election in Haryana’s Jind Assembly constituency
Krishan Middha, the son of late INLD MLA Hari Chand Middha, will be the BJP’s candidate,
while Congress’ chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala will be its nominee for the bypoll.
Krishan Middha, whose father’s demise in August had necessitated the bypoll, had recently joined the saffron party. He was the frontrunner to contest as the BJP candidate from this constituency.
Meanwhile, the INLD and the recently floated Jannayak Janata Party (JJP) said they would announce the name of their candidates on Thursday.
January 10 is the last date to file papers by the candidates for the bypoll.
The bypoll to the Jind assembly seat, which is considered as the political heartland of Haryana, will prove to be a litmus test for various parties, including the ruling BJP, the Congress and the INLD.
The win from Jind is going to be crucial for the contesting parties, with the Lok Sabha polls not far away and the state assembly polls also scheduled for the later part of 2019.
While the BJP will be eyeing a win from Jind to consolidate its position ahead of the state assembly polls, the opposition Congress, which has been attacking the Khattar government over its alleged failure on all fronts, will also look to grab a victory.

During February and March last year, 14 planes — 11 of IndiGo and three of GoAir – were grounded by the aviation regulator DGCA following a series of mid-air engine shutdowns.
