Terming the Opposition’s allegations regarding the misuse of central probe agencies as “useless,” Naveen Jindal, BJP’s candidate from the Kurukshetra Lok Sabha constituency, stated that the Opposition, with many of its leaders behind bars, should introspect instead of raising non-issues.

Likening the Opposition to the “alcohol mafia,” he claimed that their leaders are involved in various corruption cases, even validated by courts.

Having served as a Congress MP from the Kurukshetra Lok Sabha constituency twice, from 2004 to 2014, Jindal switched to the BJP in 2024 and declared his candidacy from the constituency, which he asserts he knows thoroughly due to his long association.

Jindal was nominated for the elections after Kurukshetra’s MP, Nayab Singh Saini, resigned to assume the state’s Chief Ministership. Jindal informed CNBC-TV18 that he is witnessing tremendous support from the people amidst Prime Minister Narendra Modi‘s immense popularity.

Regarding farmers’ protests, he regarded them as a thing of the past, asserting that the concerns and confusion of farmers have been addressed, and those who continue to protest are frustrated opposition leaders masquerading as farmers.

Commenting on his electoral agenda, he expressed his desire for farmers’ prosperity and improvement in the quality of education across all government schools, where the majority of children are enrolled.
