Nayab Singh Saini, the Haryana Chief Minister, is fighting the Karnal assembly bypoll, which was necessitated by the resignation of his predecessor, Manohar Lal Khattar. Saini has been criss-crossing the state, keeping up with meetings and rallies, and has been highlighting the developmental works undertaken by the "double-engine" government. He claims that Khattar's almost decade-long rule ended the "parchi-kharchi" system, where jobs were given based on favoritism and corruption.
