HISAR:With the announcement of Hisar municipal corporation elections , city-based politicians are getting ready to become candidates for the post of mayor, who for the first time would be elected directly by the citizens and not by elected councillors.While INLD and BJP have already announced that they would contest the election on the party symbol, some big leaders from the area are also hoping to get their candidates elected to the top post and thus capture the city indirectly.Hisar municipal council, along with four other city councils, was given the status of municipal corporation by the Bhupinder Singh Hooda government and Congress’s ex-minister Savitri Jindal had managed to get her candidate Shakuntala Rajliwala elected as the first mayor of the city in July 2013.Congress is yet to formally announce its plan to contest the civic polls.
