The seat had fallen vacant as incumbent MLA Rajneesh Kumar Babbi passed away last month.

Since the seat has remained within the family for nine terms — twice with Babbi as MLA and seven times with his father and former Vidhan Sabha Speaker Dr Kewal Krishan — the party is again contemplating to give the ticket either to Babbi’s lawyer son Sabhya Sachi or wife Indu Kaundal.
Besides sympathy vote, the caste factor too goes in their favour.
Rajneesh Babbi had remained national president of All India Ghirt, Bahti, Chahngh Sabha.
