In a significant boost for the Haryana BJP, two Independent MLAs, Devender Kadyan and Rajesh Joon, have joined the party just a day after its impressive election victory in the state. Both MLAs were welcomed into the BJP at Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s residence, in the presence of Haryana BJP chief Mohan Lal Badoli. Kadyan, who had contested as a BJP rebel, won from Ganaur as an Independent, while Joon defeated a BJP candidate in Bahadurgarh.

Savitri Jindal May Extend Support to BJP

India’s richest woman, Savitri Jindal, who joined the BJP in March but contested as an Independent after not receiving a party ticket, is also likely to back the BJP. Jindal, a former Congress minister, won the Hisar seat, which she had previously held in 2005 and 2009. Talks are reportedly ongoing between Jindal and the BJP leadership about her rejoining the party. Jindal had contested independently to respect the wishes of the people of Hisar, despite her son, Naveen Jindal, being a BJP MP from Kurukshetra.
