Savitri Jindal, India's wealthiest woman, is currently leading in the Hisar assembly seat in Haryana as an independent candidate. She is facing off against BJP's Kamal Gupta, who has previously held the seat. The two rivals are competing once again in the same constituency. Savitri's son, Naveen Jindal, believes she will win with a large margin. Other major parties in the fray include BJP, Congress, AAP, INLD-BSP, and JJP-Azad Samaj Party. The results for the Haryana elections will be announced on October 24th, and early trends show a significant lead for Congress.
Savitri Jindal, chairperson of OP Jindal Group and one of the richest women in the world, has won the Hisar Assembly seat in the 2024 Haryana elections as an independent candidate. Despite not having the support of any political party, Jindal defeated candidates from major parties by a margin of 18,941 votes. Her victory marks an end to the BJP's hold on the seat, as their sitting MLA Kamal Gupta was defeated by Jindal who ran on a platform of completing developmental works in the area.
Savitri Jindal, the richest woman in India according to Forbes, has announced her support for the Bharatiya Janata Party in the Haryana assembly elections. This comes as a major boost for the BJP, who also gained two Independent MLA's in their favor. Jindal, who represents Hisar, had previously been a part of the Congress government but left to join the BJP with her son Naveen. With her support, the BJP now has a majority in the state assembly and can continue their reign in Haryana.
In a surprising turn of events, India's richest woman Savitri Jindal and two other Independent MLAs have agreed to support BJP in forming the government in Haryana after the party won the elections with a huge majority. Jindal, who won from Hisar, along with Devender Kadyan and Rajesh Joon, agreed to support BJP after meeting with party leaders. This has helped BJP reach a tally of 51 seats and secure a hat-trick of wins in the state, defeating anti-incumbency and Congress' comeback attempt. This decision has also brought Jindal back into the political spotlight, with her being listed as the richest woman in India by Forbes with a net worth of USD 29.1 billion.
As the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) secures a lead in Haryana Assembly elections, it has received support from three Independent MLAs, bringing its tally to 51 seats. BJP state president Mohan Lal Badoli has credited this victory to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's policies and the hard work of party workers. Haryana MLA Savitri Jindal, whose son is a BJP MP, has also extended support to the party.
Savitri Jindal, the head of the Jindal Group, has won the Hisar Assembly seat for the third time as an independent candidate, defeating her BJP and Congress rivals. Her immense personal wealth, estimated at Rs 3.65 lakh crore, makes her not only the richest woman in India but also the fifth-richest individual in the country. Her leadership of the Jindal Group has earned her international recognition and she is now thanking the people of Hisar for their continued support.
