Jhajjar (Haryana) [India], August 25 : During his visit to Jhajjar on Sunday, Congress MP Deepender Hooda stated that if the Congress wins the upcoming assembly elections in the state and forms the government, it will fulfil the demands of Olympic medallist Manu Bhaker to build a stadium and shooting range in Jhajjar.
He also expressed pride in the fact that Haryana secured five out of the six medals won by India.
Speaking to the media, Congress MP Deepender Hooda said, "I congratulate Manu Bhaker as she has become the first athlete in history to win two Olympic medals in a single Olympics. It was a very proud moment for us, and five out of the six medals came from Haryana. Manu Bhaker has requested the construction of a stadium and shooting range in Jhajjar. If our government is formed, we will fulfil these demands..."
Earlier in the day, Indian shooter and double Olympic medallist Manu Bhaker called for enhanced facilities in her village to foster the next generation of athletes.
"If we get better facilities in our village, the children will go a long way. If we get stadiums and ranges, the children can achieve success," Bhaker stated.
The elections for Haryana's 90 assembly constituencies will be held in a single phase on October 1, with the counting of votes scheduled for October 4.
Haryana has a total of 2.01 crore voters, of which 1.06 crore are male, 0.95 crore are female, 4.52 lakh are first-time voters, and 40.95 lakh are young voters.
The last date to file nominations in Haryana is September 12, with scrutiny taking place on September 13. The final date for the withdrawal of candidatures is September 16.
The current government's term in Haryana will end on November 3, 2024, with elections to be held in all 90 legislative assembly constituencies.
In the 2019 elections, the BJP, with 40 seats in the 90-member assembly, formed a coalition government with the JJP, which had won 10 seats, while the Congress secured 31 seats. Earlier this year, the BJP-JJP alliance was dissolved.
In 2024, Haryana is likely to witness a four-way contest between the BJP, Congress, Jannayak Janta Party (JJP), and AAP.
