After the release of the party's first list of 32 candidates-28 of whom are sitting MLAs-several prominent figures, feeling betrayed by the decisions, have threatened to run as Independents. One senior leader has already resigned.
Tensions escalated when Rajinder Singh Joon, a sitting MLA, was re-nominated from Bahadurgarh, sparking a rebellion similar to the one during the last elections. Senior leader Rajesh Joon, who was bypassed for the ticket, met with supporters and announced his resignation from all party positions. He also declared his intention to contest as an Independent, accusing the party leadership of breaking promises.
"I was promised a ticket, and that promise was broken. I will win by double the margin of the Congress candidate," Joon stated.
This isn't Rajesh Joon's first rebellion against the Congress. He staged a similar revolt in 2019 when the party also selected Rajinder Singh Joon over him.
