The campaign for the Haryana civic body polls concluded on Friday, with voting set for May 10. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is making a significant push to secure the Sampla municipal committee, traditionally a stronghold of Congress leader Bhupinder Singh Hooda. With Congress not contesting under its party symbol, Hooda has encouraged voters to support candidates capable of defeating the BJP nominee. The BJP's campaign features senior leaders, including Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, who visited Sampla to rally support. The party is focusing on urban infrastructure, welfare delivery, and development promises, including future plans for extending Delhi metro connectivity to Sampla. Political analysts suggest that a BJP victory in Sampla would deal a substantial blow to Hooda's influence in the region. Meanwhile, Congress is targeting the BJP government over issues like inflation, unemployment, and civic infrastructure, hoping to convert local grievances into electoral gains.
