"I want to change the face of this holy place ...To put this historical place on international map will be my first priority," 35-year-old Jindal told reporters.

Pitted in a four-cornered contest against Abhay Chautala of INLD, Gurdial Singh Saini of BJP and Jatinder Singh of Haryana Vikas Party, son of steel magnate and politician OP Jindal, Naveen claims "people are fed up with ruling INLD. Everybody knows they have done nothing for four years.

"People have already seen BJP's and HVP's worth and I don't reckon they are even in the race," he said.

Jindal said he joined politics with a mission to serve masses and not to amass wealth.
