The newly appointed Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Saini on Sunday sounded the bugle for the Lok Sabha election in the State with the first edition of ‘Vijay Sankalp’ rally in Muslim-dominated Nuh, underscoring the party’s efforts to reach out to the minority community ahead of the parliamentary and Assembly polls this year.
Former Chief Minister Manohar Lal too had attended a function to commemorate Raja Hasan Khan Mewati’s martyrdom on March 9 in Nuh, with 44 Ulemas sharing the dais in a first such instance.
All three Assembly constituencies of Nuh district — Nuh, Punhana, and Ferozepur Jhirka — are held by the Congress. Falling in the Gurgaon Lok Sabha segment, the three Assembly segments had voted overwhelmingly for the Congress candidate Capt. Ajay Yadav in 2019 as he polled 74% of the total votes cast in the region.
