Cong fields Randeep Surjewala as candidate for Jind bypoll
The Congress on Wednesday announced that party's chief spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala will contest the January 28 bypoll in Haryana's Jind. The Kaithal MLA earlier served as a minister in the Congress government led by ex-CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda. The BJP has fielded Krishan Middha, son of Indian National Lok Dal MLA Hari Chand Middha, whose death necessitated the bypoll.
