Hisar (Haryana) [India] October 5 (ANI): Independent candidate from the Hisar constituency, Savitri Jindal on Saturday urged everyone to vote.

Seema Jindal, daughter of Savitri Jindal, also cast her vote at a polling booth in Hisar. While speaking to reporters, she urged everyone to exercise their franchise.
"...'Pehle matdan phir jalpan'. It is a 'yagna' for our country, city and state. So, everyone should cast their vote," Seema said.
Savitri Jindal is the mother of BJP's Kurukshetra MP Naveen Jindal and the wife of the late industrialist OP Jindal. She is contesting the election against Haryana Minister and sitting MLA from Hisar, Kamal Gupta.
Savitri Jindal is contesting independently from Hisar constituency after being denied tickets by the BJP.
