The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Sunday, 22 September, released a list of 22 candidates for the next month's assembly polls in Haryana.
Three women have figured in the list released by AAP's Haryana unit president Naveen Jaihind.
In the Lok Sabha elections, AAP had an electoral understanding with the Jannayak Janata Party, a split-away faction of the Indian National Lok Dal.
After the Lok Sabha debacle, in which the alliance failed to win even a single seat, both parties parted ways.
The candidates fielded by AAP are the following:
- Yogeshwar Sharma (Panchkula)
- Anshul Kumar Agarwal (Ambala City)
- Gurdev Singh Sura (Ladwa)
- Anoop Sandhu (Asandh)
- Rajkumar Pehal (Julana)
- Lakshya Garg (Fatehabad)
- Manjeet Ranga (Uklana)
- Sandeep Lohra (Narnaund)
- Manoj Rathi (Hansi)
- Anoop Singh (Barwala)
- Pawan Hindustani (Tosham)
- Munipal Atri (Garhi Sampla Kiloi)
- Anita Chhikara (Bahadurgarh)
- Ashwani Dulhera (Bahadurgarh)
- Ajay Sharma (Mahendergarh)
- Ranbir Singh Rathi (Gurugram)
- Karan Singh Dagar (Hodal)
- Kuldeep Kaushik (Palwal)
- Santosh Yadav (Faridabad NIT)
- Dharamvir Bhadana (Badkhal)
- Harinder Bhati (Ballabgarh)
- Kumari Sumanlata Vashisth (Faridabad)
AAP had not contested the assembly polls in 2014, in which the BJP came to power for the first time in Haryana.
The elections to 90 assembly seats in the state will be held on 21 October and the results will be declared on 24 October.
