Chandigarh, Sep 22 - Two ministers of the Bhupinder Singh Hooda government in Haryana have filed their nominations for next month's assembly election even before the ruling Congress announces the list of candidates.

Forests, Environment and Tourism Minister Kiran Chaudhary Tuesday filed her nomination papers as the Congress candidate from Tosham assembly constituency in Bhiwani district.

Her senior, Finance Minister Birender Singh, was even faster. He filed his nomination papers as the Congress candidate from Uchana Kalan in Jind district Saturday itself.

The official list of Congress candidates is expected later Tuesday evening.

Though both leaders are expected to be named as Congress candidates from these seats, the filing of their nominations even before the list is out has baffled other party leaders.
