The Congress party on September 14 named Ashok Gehlot, Ajay Maken and Partap Singh Bajwa as AICC Senior Observers for the ensuing assembly elections in Haryana.
The appointments will be effective immediately, according to the statement from the All India Congress Committee (AICC).
Voting for Assembly elections in Haryana are scheduled to be held in a single phase on October 5 and the results are to be declared on October 8.
Earlier on September 12, the Congress party had released its fourth list of five candidates for the state assembly polls. It fielded a journalist, who recently joined the party, from Rania, taking the total number of candidates declared so far to 86.
This list came just a few hours after the Congress declared its third list of 40 candidates, fielding party MP Randeep Surjewala's son Aditya Surjewala from Kaithal.
The party also gave ace wrestler Vinesh Phogat a ticket for the upcoming polls, who will be contesting from the Julana Assembly constituency.
Phogat, who narrowly missed out a medal at the recently concluded Paris Olympics 2024, was inducted into the Congress along with fellow wrestler Bajrang Punia on September 6. Punia has been appointed as the working chairman of the All India Kisan Congress, the farmers’ wing of the party.
