PEHOWA : Congress party won Pehowa, Thanesar and Shahabad assembly constituencies in Kurukshetra , while Bharatiya Janata Party ( BJP ) snatched Ladwa with its chief ministerial (CM) face, after the results of 2024 state assembly elections on Tuesday.
BJP’s CM face Nayab Singh Saini , its candidate from Ladwa defeated sitting Congress sitting MLA Mewa Singh with a margin of 16,054 votes. Saini got 70,177 (47.4%) votes while Mewa Singh got 54,123 (36.55%) votes. An independent candidate Vikramjeet Singh Cheema has bagged 11,191 votes, while INLD’s Sapna Barshami got 7,439, while a BJP dissident Sandeep Garg too has got 2,262 votes and these three candidates are considered to have weaken the prospect of Congress candidate winning in Ladwa and benefitted the BJP.
Mewa Singh was giving a tough fight to BJP's Haryana CM face Nayab Singh Saini, but the latter defeated him. Nayab Singh Saini, whose native village is Mirjapur in Ambala district, was first elected as MLA from Naraingarh assembly in 2014-2019, where he had defeated Congress candidate Ram Kishan by 24,361 votes. Saini later was elected as Kurukshetra MP in the 2019 Parliamentary election when he had defeated Congress candidate Nirmal Singh with a big margin of 3,84,591 votes. Saini was later made Haryana CM by BJP in place of Manohar Lal Khattar in 2024. Saini was then fielded by BJP to contest a by-election from Karnal, where in June 2024, he defeated Congress’s Tarlochan Singh by 41,540 votes.
Now, BJP fielded him from Ladwa and he won this seat also and is likely to become next CM of Haryana if saffron party forms government, as his names were announced as CM face by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah during the state assembly election campaign rallies.
At Ladwa in 2019, Mewa Singh as Congress candidate had defeated BJP’s then sitting MLA Pawan Saini with a margin of 12,637 votes. In 2014, BJP’s Pawan Saini won from Ladwa and in 2009, Ladwa seat was won by INLD’s Sher Singh Barshami.

We are making a one-sided government in Haryana for the third consecutive time on the basis of the work that we have done in the last 10 years. At Centre, Narendra Modi Ji has become Prime Minister for the third time and we have developed Haryana at speed under his leadership. We have honestly resolved the problems of the people and in future also, we will continue to take forward Haryana strongly and honestly.”
