Chandigarh, March 6

Congress leader and Leader of Opposition in the Haryana Assembly, Bhupinder Singh Hooda, expressed confidence in his party's prospects for the upcoming Rajya Sabha elections. He stated that Congress is set to secure one of the seats currently up for contest in the state.

Hooda, while speaking to reporters, said, "One seat is ours, we will win. One seat will go to the BJP, one seat will come to Congress."

Congress MLA Geeta Bhukkalm, speaking to the reporters, said, " We have our candidate for the Rajya Sabha, Karamvir Ji, and we have complete faith in him. We are confident that the Rajya Sabha seat will come in favour of the Congress."

Meanwhile, BJP's Rajya Sabha candidate from Haryana, Sanjay Bhatia, while speaking to the reporters, said, "I want to thank my party leadership. I got the opportunity to work for the organisation right after 1987. I have always tried to work for the people of Haryana. My priority will be to keep the issues of Haryana in the Rajya Sabha."

Meanwhile, President Droupadi Murmu effected a major administrative reshuffle of Governors and Lieutenant Governors across the country on Thursday, just ahead of the upcoming Rajya Sabha elections.

According to an official communique from the Rashtrapati Bhavan, Tamil Nadu Governor R N Ravi has been appointed as the new Governor of West Bengal, succeeding Dr C V Ananda Bose, who resigned earlier on Thursday.

As part of the comprehensive administrative restructuring, Vinai Kumar Saxena has been transferred from his position as Lieutenant Governor of Delhi to serve as Lieutenant Governor of Ladakh, while former diplomat Taranjit Singh Sandhu has been appointed as the new Lieutenant Governor of Delhi.

According to an official communique issued by the Rashtrapati Bhavan, these appointments will take effect from the dates on which the respective appointees assume charge of their offices.

Interesting to see the governor reshuffle happening just before these elections. Is this a routine administrative move or does it have a political angle? The timing is certainly notable.

As a resident of Haryana, I just hope whoever wins works for the state's development. We need better infrastructure, water management, and job opportunities. Please focus on real issues! 🙏

Good to see Taranjit Singh Sandhu, a former diplomat, getting the Delhi LG post. Hopefully brings some administrative experience. But these transfers right before RS polls... feels strategic.

Respectfully, I wish our political leaders would spend less time on seat calculations and more time telling us their concrete plans for Haryana's farmers and youth. The confidence is good, but we need substance.

The article mentions Sanjay Bhatia has been working since 1987. That's a long political journey. Experience matters, but so does a fresh vision. Let's see what the final tally is.
