Jindal, the Chairman of Jindal Steel & Power, quit the Congress and joined BJP in March, ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. He was elected MP from Kurukshetra after beating Aam Aadmi Party’s Dr Sushil Gupta by just over 29,000 votes.
Naveen’s mother Savitri, Chairperson of O P Jindal Group, is in the fray in the Haryana Assembly election — as an Independent candidate from Hisar constituency. Savitri is up against Haryana minister and sitting MLA Kamal Gupta.
Haryana is voting in a single phase, to elect 90 legislators in the state.
Votes will be counted on October 8.
