Haryana Polls: Uchana is Not Cakewalk for Dushyant Chautala, Facing Ex-MP in Trio Contest

Chandigarh: As Haryana heads to assembly polls, former Deputy Chief Minister and Jannayak Janta Party chief Dushyant Chautala faces a stiff challenge in the Uchana Kalan constituency in Jind district. The contest has turned into a three-way battle, with the BJP and Congress fielding strong candidates in the constituency. 

Congress has nominated Brijendra Singh, who is former MP from Hisar and 1998-batch IAS officer. Brijendra took voluntary retirement after 21 years of service. He is son of former Union Minister of Steel Birender Singh, adds significant political weight to the race for Uchana Kalan. 

From the BJP , Devender Attri, a young and increasingly popular candidate, is also in the fray. Recent surveys suggest he has gained considerable traction in the constituency.

Dushyant's Political Link Could be a Gamechanger?
