The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) announced 40-star campaigners for the upcoming Haryana Assembly Elections on Wednesday. The list features prominent names such as Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's wife, Sunita Kejriwal, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, and Delhi Ministers Atishi and Saurabh Bharadwaj. Other notable figures include AAP leaders Sanjay Singh and Manish Sisodia.

In addition, AAP released its fourth list of 21 candidates for the Haryana elections. So far, the party has declared 61 candidates for the 90-member assembly. Among the newly announced candidates are Raj Kaur Gill from Ambala Cantonment, Lalit Tyagi from Yamunanagar, Joga Singh from Ladwa, Satbir Goyat from Kithal, Sunil Bindal from Karnal, and Sukhbir Malik from Painpat Rural.

Also featured in the list are Saroj Bala Rathi from Ganaur, Devender Gautam from Sonipat, Shiv Kumar Rangeela from Gohana, Sandeep Malik from Baroda, Kavita Dalal from Julana, Nisha Deshwal from Safidon, Sukhwinder Singh Gill from Tohana, Jasdev Nikka from Kalanwali, Sham Mehta from Sirsa, Narender Uklana from Uklana, Rajiv Pali from Narnaund, and Rajender Sorkhi from Hansi. Former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister and AAP leader Manish Sisodia joined the nomination rally of Anurag Dhanda, the state vice president and candidate from Kalayat seat, where he expressed confidence in the party's victory.

"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," Sisodia stated. "Our main fight is with corruption, with anti-school politics, with anti-hospital politics, with politics that took away job opportunities," he added.

Seat-sharing talks between AAP and Congress failed. The last date for filing nominations is September 12. Voting for the 90-member legislative assembly in Haryana will take place on October 5, and votes will be counted on October 8 along with those in Jammu and Kashmir. (ANI)
