Haryana Election Update: Tussle in Tosham as Sehwag Campaigns for Anirudh Chaudhary - Read Now

In the heart of Haryana, the Tosham assembly seat is witnessing a thrilling political showdown. This constituency is in the spotlight not only because of the candidates but also due to the involvement of former cricket star Virender Sehwag. Sehwag actively campaigned for Congress candidate Anirudh Chaudhary, emphasizing the importance of public support.

The voting percentage in Tosham was around 62%, reflecting strong engagement from the electorate. As the counting of votes continues, Shruti Chaudhary from the BJP is currently leading with 23,905 votes, ahead of Anirudh Chaudhary by 2,951 votes. This seat has a significant political legacy, with both candidates being from the same influential family. Shruti is the granddaughter of former CM Bansi Lal, while Anirudh is his grandson, making this a battle between cousins.

Anirudh Chaudhary has expressed gratitude towards Sehwag for his support, highlighting their close relationship. Sehwag, in turn, has voiced confidence in Anirudh’s ability to deliver on his promises, citing his administrative experience. This adds an interesting dynamic to the campaign, with cricket fans rallying behind the former cricketer's endorsement.

The competition is fierce, especially since the previous assembly elections saw Kirana Chaudhary, a prominent Congress leader and mother of Anirudh, win decisively. In 2019, she defeated her BJP rival by over 18,000 votes. However, with Kirana recently joining the BJP and her elevation to the Rajya Sabha, the political landscape in Tosham has shifted.

As the results unfold, the focus remains on whether the Congress can reclaim its influence in a seat that has been historically significant. The rivalry and family ties add depth to the electoral drama, making Tosham a key seat to watch in this assembly election.
