Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) president Om Prakash Chautala's grandson Dushyant is challenging Haryana Janhit Congress chief Kuldeep Bishnoi, the sitting MP, in the Hissar seat in Haryana.

In many ways, it's a do-or-die battle for the INLD. If the 26-year-old Dushyant, who is making his debut in electoral politics, wins from the constituency, his party may survive. (Elections: full coverage)

Both his father Ajay and grandfather are in jail. The constituency is dominated by Jats and Bishnois.

The Congress, interestingly, has fielded six-term MLA and former minister Sampat Singh, who quit the INLD in 2009. (Elections schedule)
