With the BJP having announced candidates for all 10 Lok Sabha seats in Haryana, the entry of boxer Vijender Singh in the party has sparked speculation.
It put forth the demand for contesting Ambala, Kurukshetra and Sirsa seats, of which Ambala and Sirsa are reserved for Scheduled Castes, according to people aware of the development. The party said it would like to contest the three seats since they border Punjab, where it is in power, having won a landslide victory in the 2022 assembly elections.
