Congress names Kamarvir Boudh, a SC leader, as its Rajya Sabha candidate from Haryana

Congress named Karamvir Singh Boudh, a Scheduled Caste leader, as its candidate for the Rajya Sabha election in Haryana. The surprise nomination comes after the party appointed Rao Narender Singh, a Backward Class leader, as its president, breaking from tradition and seeking to balance caste representation. The BJP has nominated former Karnal Lok Sabha member Sanjay Bhatia, considered close to Union Urban Affairs Minister Manohar Lal. Both parties are expected to win easily with their respective majorities in the Haryana Assembly.
