2024 Barnala By-Election

[edit]

The 2024 Barnala by-election, held after Meet Hayer's election as a Member of Parliament from Sangrur, marks Harinder Singh Dhaliwal's entry into electoral politics. Dhaliwal's candidacy faced competition from within AAP, with names like Dalvir Singh Goldy and Gurdeep Singh Batth also under consideration. Following the ticket announcement, Goldy left the party, and Batth declared his intention to run as an independent candidate.[7][8][9] Batth has since been expelled by the party.[10] Dhaliwal has gained support from previous BJP candidate Dheeraj Kumar Dadahur.[11]
