Ambala: The Congress has not yet announced a candidate for the Ambala Lok Sabha seat. In the changed circumstances, Congress can now field Mulana MLA Varun Chaudhary from this seat. However, the first claim to this seat is from former Union minister Kumari Selja. But given the possibilities of him contesting from Sirsa Lok Sabha, MLA Varun Chaudhary’s claim now seems strong. However, Sadhaura MLA Renu Bala’s name is also included in the board. Kumari Selja herself supports him.
If you get the ticket, you have the chance to get revenge.
Banto Kataria, wife of former Union Minister of State Ratanlal Kataria, has been declared the BJP’s candidate for the Ambala Lok Sabha seat. She constantly sweats on the field to win. However, no other party, including the Congress, has announced the name of its candidate so far. For this reason, Banto Kataria has been running alone in the race so far. With Congress MP Varun Chaudhary’s claim from Mulana constituency strengthened in this seat, he will have a chance to avenge his father’s defeat. Varun is the son of Phool Chand Mullana, who was a minister in the state government and a former president of the state Congress.
Again Kataria suffered consecutive defeats
Former MP Ratanlal Kataria lost his Ambala Lok Sabha seat to senior Congress leader and former Union minister Kumari Selja in two consecutive elections in 2004 and 2009. After that, Kataria won two consecutive Lok Sabha elections. Raj Kumar Valmiki of Congress first defeated in 2014. Defeated Kumari Selja of Congress in 2019. Now, if Congress declares Varun Mullana as its candidate for the 2024 elections, he will have a chance to avenge his father’s defeat by defeating Banto Kataria .
