In 2024, Union minister Krishan Pal Gurjar was again fielded by the BJP against Congress veteran Mahender Pratap Singh. Gurjar, who is set to script a hattrick, won from Faridabad in 2014, and 2019 as well.
While Congress’s Singh, a five-time MLA who has served as a minister in the state in the past, was looking to make a comeback, JJP youth president, Nalin Hooda was also looking to challenge BJP's dominance in the area.
Gurjar and Singh both belong to the Gurjar community which is seen as a crucial factor for a win in Faridabad.
