Several prominent BJP leaders, including Haryana BJP Chief Mohan Lal Badoli, former Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb, and Union Ministers Manohar Lal Khattar, Rao Inderjit Singh, and Krishan Pal Gurjar, also attended the CEC meeting.

The Haryana Assembly elections will take place on October 1, and the results are expected on October 4.
