Independent candidate Savitri Jindal won from Hisar constituency by a margin of 18,941 votes. She beat Congress' Ram Niwas Rara and BJP's Dr. Kamal Gupta.
Asia's richest woman and chairperson of the OP Jindal Group, Savitri’s decision to throw her hat in the ring has raised many eyebrows in Haryana’s political circles. The Jindals have dabbled in politics for more than three decades.
She is the mother of BJP's Kurukshetra MP Naveen Jindal.
Hisar is a largely urban seat and civic issues dominate political discourse.
Forbes India listed Savitri Jindal as the richest woman in the country this year having a net worth of $29.1 billion.
Counting of votes polled for the 90 seats in the October 5 assembly elections in Haryana began at 8 am on Tuesday.
