BJP released its second list of 21 Haryana assembly candidates, dropping six sitting MLAs, including two ministers, and including two Muslims. Candidates have been announced for 87 of 90 seats, with Sirsa, Mahendergarh, and NIT Faridabad still pending. The party also replaced its Pehowa candidate due to local opposition and has fielded former Air India captain Yogesh Kumar against Olympian Vinesh Phogat in Julana.
