The Deputy Speaker of the Haryana Assembly, Bhai Gopi Chand Gehlot, today filed his nomination papers as the INLD nominee along with two of his other party nominees, Mr Ananad Tawar and Ms Sahida Khan. Mr Tanwar is the nominee for Sohna constituency and Ms Khan is contesting from Taoru, both the segments fall in Gurgaon district.
Bhai Gopi Chand Gehlot and his two party colleagues reached the mini-secretariat to file their nomination papers in an impressive procession led by Mr Ajay Singh Chautala, son of Chief Minister Om Prakash Chautala. The procession passed through the main Sadar market of the city.
Addressing a gathering before the procession, Mr Ajay Chautala came down heavily on the Congress saying that the party which alleged the INLD leadership of indulging in dynastic rule has become victim of the same malaise. He alleged that the Congress tickets in Haryana were bought by the aspirants. Those denied party ticket have taken to streets.
He said the INLD would seek votes on the basis of its performance in the last five years. The Congress, on the other hand, has nothing to its credit especially in the past six months of its rule at the Centre. Prices of essential commodities have shot up on account of wrong policies of the Congress-led government at the Centre, he added.
