The formal declaration will take place in the presence of former Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda and Haryana Congress Chief Udai Bhan.
The four independent MLAs, namely Pundri MLA Randhir Golan, Nilokheri MLA Dharmpal Gonder, Dadri MLA Sombir Singh Sangwan, and Badshahpur MLA Rakesh Daultabad, have joined forces with the Congress party.
