Hisar By-polls

Hisar has sent Kuldeep Bishnoi of the Haryana Janhit Congress, supported by the BJP, to the Lok Sabha. Mr Bishnoi is the son of Bhajan Lal, who was the Hisar MP and who died in June this year.

It's perhaps one of the most closely-watched by-elections in recent times. After Team Anna's high-decibel campaign against the Congress, results for the by-poll on Hisar Lok Sabha seat will be known today.

The polling process was peacefully completed at 5 p.m. in the crucial Hisar Lok Sabha by-election in Haryana on Thursday, where Team Anna has asked people not to vote for the Congress. Over 70 percent voting was expected, said officials.

The Lok Sabha by-election in Hisar to be held on Thursday has evoked nationwide interest due to the campaign by Anna Hazare and his team to defeat the Congress and a triangular fight among the leading political players of Haryana.

Congress leader Digvijaya Singh has said he has letters that prove the right-wing Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh or RSS supported Anna Hazare's movement - a claim the Gandhian has rejected earlier.
