Haryana Elections See New Alliances, Candidate Strife

The Haryana Assembly elections are seeing significant political maneuvering and alliances. The Congress has released its candidate list in a staggered manner, with internal disputes, particularly involving former CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda, influencing last-minute changes. The AAP plans to contest all seats, with key constituencies being closely watched due to their narrow victory margins in 2019. The BJP, facing internal strife, has announced its candidates, including Olympian Vinesh Phogat, while some leaders have resigned to run as independents. Meanwhile, new alliances like the JJP-ASP and INLD-BSP could fragment the opposition vote further, potentially benefiting the BJP.
