BJP Leaders Meet Ahead of Haryana Elections

Senior leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), including Union Minister Amit Shah and Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, convened at party president JP Nadda's residence to discuss potential candidates for the upcoming Haryana assembly elections scheduled for October 1. This meeting was a precursor to the BJP's central election committee (CEC) gathering later that day, during which the final nominations are expected to be announced. Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, responsible for Haryana elections, also met with state leaders earlier to evaluate candidate options. Meanwhile, the Haryana BJP has requested the Election Commission to postpone the elections, citing concerns over voter turnout due to overlapping holidays, a move that has drawn criticism from the Congress party. The results of the elections will be declared on October 4, as the BJP aims for a decisive victory in the polls.
