In a significant political development just days before Haryana’s assembly elections, Ashok Tanwar, former Haryana Congress chief, rejoined the Congress party. His return was formalized in the presence of Rahul Gandhi, marking a key shift in Haryana’s political landscape. Tanwar had previously quit the Congress in 2019, exploring affiliations with AAP and Trinamool Congress. His re-entry into the Congress is a setback for BJP, as he had earlier joined the saffron party, praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership.
With Haryana’s assembly elections set for October 5, Tanwar’s comeback to Congress could sway voters in crucial constituencies. Known for his grassroots appeal, Tanwar’s return is expected to energize the Congress ranks. His previous exit from the party stemmed from internal conflicts, but his re-entry signals a renewed alliance with Congress leadership.
Congress leaders view this as a win, boosting their prospects in the upcoming election. Meanwhile, BJP is left grappling with Tanwar’s sudden defection, potentially impacting its campaign strategy just days before the crucial vote.
With the political drama intensifying, all eyes are now on the Haryana polls and the impact Tanwar’s return might have on the state’s electoral outcome.
