NEW DELHI: BJP in Haryana on Sunday expelled eight party leaders for a period of six years due to their decision to contest the upcoming Haryana assembly elections as independent candidates.

Among those expelled are notable figures such as former minister Ranjit Chautala and former MLA Devendra Kadyan .

The complete list of expelled leaders includes Sandeep Garg from Ladwa, Jilaram Sharma from Assandh, Devendra Kadyan from Ganaur, Bachchan Singh Arya from Safidon, Ranjit Chautala from Rania, Radha Ahlawat from Meham, Naveen Goyal from Gurugram, and Kehar Singh Rawat from Hathin.

This expulsion follows a similar move by the Haryana Congress , which recently announced the six-year suspension of 21 party rebels, including five former legislators and two All-India Congress Committee (AICC) delegates. Notably, Chitra Sarwara from Ambala Cantonment and Rajesh Joon from Bahadurgarh were the first to be suspended, with former chief parliamentary secretary Sharda Rathore also being included on the list.

Haryana is set to go to the polls on October 5 to elect a 90-member state legislative assembly, with the counting of votes scheduled for October 8.
