Haryana BJP has unveiled its second list of 21 candidates for the upcoming state assembly elections. Captain Yogesh Bairagi will contest from the Julana seat, which is also being contested by wrestler Vinesh Phogat representing the Congress. For the first time, the BJP has fielded two Muslim candidates: Naseem Ahmad from Ferozepur Jhirka and Aijaz Khan from Punahana.

Pawan Saini, who previously ran from Ladwa, will now represent the Narayangarh constituency, the home seat of Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini. Former minister Manish Grover has secured a ticket for Rohtak, while Devendra Kaushik will replace the current Gannaur MLA, Nirmal Rani.
