The Central Election Committee of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has announced its first list of candidates for the upcoming Haryana Assembly Elections 2024.

In a notable development, the BJP has once again placed its trust in 17 MLAs and 8 ministers, reaffirming its confidence in its existing leadership.
