Abhay Chautala of INLD wins in Haryana's Ellenabad

Chandigarh, November 2

INLD leader Abhay Singh Chautala won by a margin of 6,708 votes over his nearest rival Gobind Kanda of the BJP, in the Ellenabad assembly constituency in Sirsa district.

Abhay Singh Chautala said, “It’s a win of the farmers. The Congress and the BJP are hand in glove in the byelection. The ruling party misused government machinery and we submitted nearly 15 complaints to the Election Commission but the EC did not take cognizance of our complaints.”

“I will go to the Tikri border and Singhu border to express solidarity with the farmers sitting on the dharna in support of their demand for withdrawal of three farm laws,” Chautala said.

He said he is ready to resign again if his supporters ask me to do so in support of farmers’ agitation.

He demanded a fair inquiry into the misuse of government machinery and money power in the bypoll.

Congress candidate Pawan Beniwal lost his security deposit in the bypoll.

The bypoll was necessitated after Chautala in January resigned as the MLA from the seat in protest against three central farm laws.
