- Elections were held on 13th October 2011 for the Hissar Lok Sabha seat due to the death of Mr. Bhajan Lal. The HJC-BJP alliance, represented by Ms. Kuldeep Bishnoi s/o Late Mr. Bhajan Lal, won the election. The Congress party lost its deposit money. Recent rise in cases of corruption and a negative campaign by prominent members of team Anna Hazare was considered as the determining factor for this poor performance by the congress party.
