Gian Chand Gupta holds meeting with BJP mayor, councillor candidates

With the Municipal elections drawing closer, political parties have intensified their political activities. In this series, former Assembly speaker Gian Chand Gupta arrived in the city and handed over BJP tickets to mayoral and councillor candidates at the BJP district office ‘Karna Kamal’. Karnal MLA Jagmohan Anand, Indri MLA Ram Kumar Kashyap, Nilokheri MLA Bhagwan Das Kabirpanthi and Assandh MLA Yogendra Rana and officiating district president Brij Gupta and other senior leaders were also present at the meeting.

Speaking on the occasion, Gian Chand Gupta congratulated all BJP candidates and expressed confidence in their victory. “I extend my best wishes to all candidates who have received the party symbol. I believe they will ensure the BJP’s victory in every ward with dedication and hard work. The enthusiasm among party workers in Karnal is remarkable, and I am confident that our Mayor and councillor candidates will win by a massive margin.”

On being asked about resentment prevailing among ticket aspirants after they were denied tickets, Gupta said that efforts would be made to pacify them. ”We will visit the homes of any upset workers and persuade them to stand with the party. I am confident that no dedicated BJP worker, who has been nurturing the lotus for years, will stay away,” he added.

Welcoming the Congress’s participation in the municipal elections, Gupta said it was good for democracy. Meanwhile, BJP's mayoral candidate Renu Bala Gupta expressed her commitment to work for the city’s development and urged the voters to support the party.

The municipal elections in Haryana are scheduled for March 2, while the results will be declared on March 12.
