Chandigarh | Wednesday | 27th October, 2021

Summary:

Chandigarh, Oct 26 (PTI) With only a few days left for the Ellenabad bypolls in Haryana, key parties are making last ditch effort to woo the voters, with Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar holding his first election rally on Tuesday, claiming all-round development in the state.

           While the BJP has fielded Gobind Kanda as the party candidate from Ellenabad, main opposition Congress has fielded Pawan Beniwal.

         In the triangular contest, they are up against Indian National Lok Dal"s senior leader Abhay Singh Chautala, whose resignation in January over the farm laws issue had necessitated the bypolls to the rural constituency falling in Sirsa district.

         Addressing an election meeting in the constituency, Khattar without naming anyone, said some people are trying to create fear among voters.

He said voting to a person of their choice is people"s democratic right.

"And they must exercise their vote without any fear," he said.
