Earlier on Friday, Congress released its first list of 31 candidates for the Haryana Assembly polls, fielding former chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda from Garhi Sampla-Kiloi, state unit chief Udai Bhan from Hodal and wrestler Vinesh Phogat from Julana.
Of the 28 sitting MLAs which the party has in the present assembly, the Congress on Friday re-nominated 27 of them.
In the 2019 assembly polls, the Congress had 31 MLAs, but later on party legislator Bhavya Bishnoi had joined the BJP and is a legislator from the ruling party.
The assembly elections in Haryana will take place on October 5 while the counting of votes for the elections to the 90-member assembly will take place on October 8.
