A Unique Victory for Savitri Jindal
What makes her win noteworthy is her decision to contest the election independently. Savitri Jindal, the mother of industrialist Naveen Jindal, initially expected a BJP ticket for the election. However, after being denied the party’s backing, she chose to stand as an independent candidate. A few days before the election, the BJP expelled her from the party, adding more drama to the contest.
Naveen Jindal, who was once a Congress member, joined the BJP recently and serves as a BJP MP from the Kurukshetra Lok Sabha seat.
