With the people's support, I will strive to promote development and serve the residents of the MMC area wholeheartedly," he stated.

"My dedication to social service and my commitment to the community helped me win this ticket. After my victory, I will leave no stone unturned in advancing the area’s development," he added.
On the other hand, Congress has nominated a fresh face, Neeraj Yadav, who resides in Manesar, a significant village within the Municipal Corporation. His uncle, Rao Shrikrishna, was the inaugural Zila Parishad Chairman of the district and was influential in the area.
Neeraj has been with the Congress party since 2008 and has held positions as state vice-president and district president after winning internal elections.
Having started in student politics, he has also taken charge of the Delhi University Student Union elections and maintains a strong relationship with the party's high command. He has been instrumental in reinforcing the party’s presence during both Lok Sabha and Assembly elections.
Nomination papers for candidates from both BJP and Congress for the Gurugram and Manesar Municipal Corporation elections were submitted on Monday.
In Gurugram, MP Rao Inderjeet Singh submitted the nomination for the BJP's mayoral candidate Rajrani Malhotra. Rao Inderjeet expressed confidence in a significant victory for the BJP across the state.
Rajrani Malhotra was selected after Usha Priyadarshi was denied a ticket, with no opposition to her candidacy due to her strong ties with the RSS.
Meanwhile, cabinet minister Rao Narbir Singh visited Manesar to support the nomination of Sundar Lal Yadav, asserting that the BJP would prevail in Manesar while Congress would not secure any seats.
