October 17, 2011 10:59

Kuldeep Bishnoi of Haryana Janhit Congress is leading over his nearest rival Ajay Chautala of Indian National Lok Dal by over 11,000 votes after two rounds of counting for the bypolls to the Hisar Lok Sabha seat.

Jai Prakash of Congress is at the third position. The bypoll held on October 13 had witnessed a turnout of nearly 69 per cent with the Anna factor raising the stakes for the Congress in a triangular fight.

"If I win with God's grace, it will be basically because of my father and family's track record. We have done a lot for Hisar," Bishnoi said.

Jai Prakash said Team Anna's campaign has no impact here. "Results will show that in a while," he said. Chautala said, "It is just the counting which is left
otherwise I have already won".

The results should be out by 2 pm, Haryana's Chief Electoral Officer Sumita Misra said.
