Kuldeep Bishnoi starts campaigning in Adampur
Hindustan TimesKuldeep Bishnoi, who has recently switched over to the BJP from the Congress after resigning as Adampur legislator on Thursday, started canvassing for the bypoll, the date for which is yet to be declared. Bypoll a prestige issue for Hooda, Bishnoi This byelection will be a prestige issue for former chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda and Kuldeep Bishnoi as both of them have been carrying political clout. Hooda’s loyal and former Union minister Jai Prakash and six-time legislator Sampat Singh have put their weight behind to defeat Bishnoi from Adampur, which is dominated by Jat voters. As per political commentators, it is interesting to see whether BJP leader Birender Singh and deputy chief minister Dushyant Chautala will seek votes for Bishnoi in the bypoll. He said Bishnoi is eying the BJP ticket from the Hisar Lok Sabha in the 2024 polls and his ambitions might stop Brijendra and Dushyant from putting weight behind his family member in the byelection.
