In a series of political shifts ahead of the Haryana Assembly elections, AAP district president Ranjit Uppal resigned and joined the BJP, expressing frustration over AAP's failure to announce candidates and its collaboration with Congress. His move follows the defection of Umesh Agarwal's family from AAP to BJP, while BJP's state vice-president G L Sharma and a large group of supporters switched to Congress, highlighting internal strife within the BJP. Former Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda welcomed Sharma, asserting that the Congress party is gaining momentum due to dissatisfaction with the BJP's policies. Voter sentiments indicate growing unrest among various groups, including youth, farmers, and women, who feel neglected under the current administration. With the election date set for October 5, both Congress and BJP are actively campaigning, while AAP's strategy remains uncertain due to recent developments.
