The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is preparing to contest the Haryana Assembly elections independently, releasing its first list of candidates amid disagreements with the Indian National Congress (INC) over seat-sharing, with AAP demanding ten seats while Congress only offers seven. Meanwhile, Olympian wrestlers Bajrang Punia and Vinesh Phogat have joined the Congress party, marking a significant boost for the INC as they gear up for the October 5 elections. Vinesh Phogat emphasized her commitment to justice in her new political role, while both wrestlers have resigned from their previous positions in Northern Railways. Congress MP Deepender Singh Hooda expressed confidence in the party's prospects, claiming that both the BJP leadership and the public recognize the Congress's potential for victory in the state. The BJP's recent candidate list has been met with criticism from Congress leaders, who argue it reflects internal party issues and a lack of strong candidates. As the campaign heats up, the dynamics between these parties will be crucial in determining the election outcomes.
