CM Nayab Singh contest by-election from Karnal seat?

There was a big political upheaval in haryana recently. manohar lal khattar suddenly resigned from the post of chief minister and membership of the Assembly. In his place, Kurukshetra mp and state bjp president Naib Singh saini was elected CM. In such a situation, to remain the chief minister, Naib Singh saini must become a member of the Legislative assembly within 6 months. Regarding this, now the party is making him contest the by-election from Karnal Assembly.

manohar lal khattar was the mla from this seat. After all, why is bjp making Naib saini contest the by-election from the Karnal seat itself? There are many types of discussions regarding this. The date of the Does by-election for Karnal's seat has not been announced yet. However, it is believed that a by-election will be held on Karnal's seat during the lok sabha elections itself. Let us tell you that in the 7th phase of lok sabha elections in haryana, voting will be held for 10 parliamentary seats on May 25.

Will saini get any benefit by contesting elections from Karnal?

If we talk about the Karnal assembly seat, there are more voters from the punjabi community here. Former chief minister manohar lal khattar comes from the punjabi community. He also got the benefit of this. He had won from Karnal's seat twice in a row. In such a situation, Naib Singh saini is considered very close to Khattar, he can also benefit from this in the elections. In haryana, Nayab Singh Saini's identity as a prominent leader of a backward class (OBC) may benefit him in the elections. Karnal seat was earlier considered a congress stronghold, but in 2014, the bjp breached the congress stronghold.

Even before, two Chief Ministers have contested by-elections.

Let us tell you that Naib Singh saini is currently also an mp from Kurukshetra lok sabha seat. He has become the third chief minister of the state who is not a member of the Legislative Assembly. Before him, former chief minister late Bansi Lal and former chief minister Bhupendra Singh Hooda had also become Chief Ministers while holding the post of MP. Both of them had won big victories in the by-elections. Bansilal had won the election unilaterally, in which he got 81298 votes and his rival independent candidate got only 479 votes. Bhupendra Singh Hooda, while being the chief minister, got 355074 votes in the by-election, while his rival bjp candidate abhimanyu got 123116 votes.
