Bhupinder Singh Hooda, a stalwart of the Congress party in Haryana, continues to be a formidable force in the state's political landscape. Despite BJP's strong performance in the recent assembly elections, Hooda clinched a resounding victory in his constituency, Garhi-Sampla Kiloi, with a margin of 71,465 votes.

Hooda, who turned 77 last month, remains undeterred by the challenges within his own party and from external political rivals. His political journey, marked by key roles such as the chief minister from 2005 to 2014 and multiple tenures as MLA and MP, reflects his enduring commitment to Haryana's politics.

As the BJP gears up to form another government, questions loom over Hooda's next move. Aligning closely with prominent Congress figures such as Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi, Hooda remains a pivotal leader, steering his party through turbulent times and preparing for future battles.
