Former Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president Ranbir Singh Mahendra, son of former chief minister Bansi Lal, who was elected on the Congress ticket from Mundhal Khurd in Bhiwani district, is also seeking a new seat as his earlier constituency has been abolished.

Cooperation Minister Meena Mandal's Jundla seat too stands abolished.

Sitting legislators from constituencies like Rajaund, Darba Kalan, Taoru, Nautha, Jatusana, Hassangarh, Kaliana, Pai, Chhachrauli, Naggal, Sahlawas, Bhattu Kalan and Ghirai will also have to look for new constituencies as the old ones have either been abolished, reserved or merged with others.

The Congress, whose government got the assembly dissolved seven months before its term was to end to seek early polls, seems to be sitting pretty with the opposition parties in disarray. The Congress led in 59 assembly segments of the 90-member assembly in the general elections this May.

Opposition alliances, with just a month to go for the elections, are breaking up or not happening at all.

While the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) broke its alliance with the INLD, the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) broke up with the Bhajan Lal-Kuldip Bishnoi-led Haryana Janhit Congress (HJC).

The HJC and BJP tried to forge an alliance this week but that did not materialise either.
