The Haryana Congress, divided into factions led by Bhupinder Hooda and Kumari Selja, is contesting its fourth major election without an executive committee for over a decade, reflecting internal discord and leadership challenges. Meanwhile, the BJP is finalizing candidates for the October 1 Assembly elections, with Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini expressing confidence in a third consecutive win despite strong competition from Congress. Former Congress leader Kiran Choudhry, now with the BJP, criticizes the Congress's internal issues and praises BJP's discipline. Shifts in voter sentiment suggest the Congress might have an edge over the BJP in the state, indicating a tight race for the upcoming elections.
