Haryana assembly polls: AAP releases third list of 11 candidates | India News – Times of India


NEW DELHI: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) late Tuesday announced its third list of 11 candidates for the upcoming Haryana assembly elections, following the release of its second list of nine candidates earlier in the day.
In the third list, the AAP has fielded Pravin Guskhani against Congress veteran and former Haryana chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda in the Garhi Sampla-Kiloi constituency.
The other candidates include Bheem Singh Rathi (Radaur), Amar Singh (Nilokheri), Amit Kumar (Israna), Mahender Dahiya (Jhajjar), Satish Yadav (Rewari), and Col (retd) Rajendra Rawat (Hathin).

In its second list, the Aam Aadmi Party fielded Ritu Bamaniya for Sadhaura, Krishan Bajaj for Thanesar, Hawa Singh for Indri, Mukhtiyar Singh Bazigar for Ratia, and Bhupendra Beniwal for Adampur.
Notably missing from both the second and third lists was the name of Sushil Gupta, the AAP’s Haryana president.
The AAP on Monday, released its first list of 20 candidates after seat-sharing negotiations with the Congress failed to reach an agreement. With the latest announcements, the party has now declared candidates for 40 out of the 90 seats in the Haryana Assembly.
The deadline for filing nomination papers is September 12, with the 90-member assembly set to go to polls on October 5.
In the previous Haryana polls in 2019, the AAP had fielded candidates in 46 seats but failed to secure a single victory.
