The bugle for the assembly elections in Haryana has been sounded. Voting will be held on all 90 seats of the state on October 1, while the results will come on October 4. Compared to 2019, this time the election atmosphere in Haryana is different. The biggest challenge before BJP is the ‘anti-incumbency’ factor.
Just a few months before the elections, Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar had to be replaced. In his place, Nayab Saini, who comes from the backward class, was given the command of the CM post. The alliance of BJP and JJP, which lasted for 4 and a half years, broke. On the other hand, Congress took full advantage of this weakness of BJP. Former CM Bhupendra Singh Hooda left no stone unturned to corner BJP despite the internal rift in the Congress party. Its result was seen in the Lok Sabha elections.
The Congress party snatched 5 seats in 2024 from the BJP, which won all the 10 Lok Sabha seats in the state in 2019. Now, the BJP, which is facing anti-incumbency in the battle of Haryana, has prepared a new ‘social engineering’ to challenge the Congress.
The Congress party took full advantage of the ‘anti-incumbency’ among the people towards the BJP government. A strong platform was prepared for the Congress in the Lok Sabha elections. The BJP had to face defeat on five seats. After this, in a meeting of the top leadership held in Delhi, it was decided that the BJP would return to the old ‘social engineering’ formula in the assembly elections. When the votes received in the Lok Sabha elections were analyzed, it was revealed that the BJP did not get the votes of the Jat community. Since the non-Jat voters in the state, who are about 75 percent of the total population, the BJP decided to focus on them. Mohanlal Baroli, who comes from the Brahmin community, was given the responsibility of the state president.
Political experts say that in the assembly elections, BJP is focusing on non-Jat voters. At present, the Chief Minister of the state, Nayab Saini, comes from the backward class, while the newly appointed state president of the party, Mohanlal Baroli, is from the Brahmin.
