Former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister and AAP leader Manish Sisodia participated in the nomination rally of the party’s state vice president and candidate from Kalayat seat, Anurag Dhanda and exuded confidence in the party’s victory in the upcoming elections.
“I have come for the nomination filing of Anurag Dhanda. He has been my friend, a journalist and a senior leader of Haryana AAP. People are upset with the 10-year rule of BJP in Haryana and they want to free Haryana from the BJP. AAP will form the government here and work will be done on the guarantee of Arvind Kejriwal,” Mr Sisodia said.
“Our main fight is with corruption, with anti-school politics, with anti-hospital politics, with politics that took away job opportunities,” he added.
There was seat-sharing talks betwen AAP and Congress but they failed. The last date for filing nominations is September 12.
Voting for the 90-member legislative assembly in Haryana will be held on October 5. Votes will be counted on October 8 along with that in Jammu and Kashmir.
