Ambala City MLA Aseem Goel Sharma, wife of former minister Venod Sharma, won the MC elections on their party Haryana Jan Chetna Party ’s cylinder symbol in December 2020. In the Ambala MC election results, HJCP shared equal number of eight seats with the BJP in the 20-member house, where her party accused local MLA Aseem Goel for “interfering in the functioning of house”. Suman Bhatnagar, a veteran journalist from Ambala, said, “As Goel is facing heavy anti-incumbency due to tardy development projects in his constituency and state government’s stand on closure of Shambhu border, he is most likely to change his seat to contest on a BJP ticket.” “Shakti Rani Sharma’s joining also puts her husband in spot, who is also willing to contest in the elections but has not joined BJP.
