Jat-dominated Hisar Lok Shaba constituency, approximately 170 kilometers from the country’s capital where chances go further than the conclusion of the election decision, has a new contest underway.
Candidates of prevailing parties are grinding in their aim to expand their family legacy between polarisation of strong caste. Former deputy prime minister Devi Lal’s great-grandson Dushyant Chautala of the not long ago formed Janata Jannayak Party (JJP) is set against BJP’s Bijender Singh, a former IAS agent and the great-grandson of renowned farmer leader Sir Chotu Ram. Bijender Singh is also the son of Union minister in Modi’s cabinet Chaudhary Birender Singh. Bhavya Bishnoi, the grandson of former Haryana CM Bhajan Lal is also fighting for the position. He could be the youngest as he is only 26 years old.
The three top competitors have a common trait: they all are political dynasts with foreign degrees. The caste configuration here conclude the majority of the political approach and narrative. The Jat community composes roughly 33 percent of the voters in Hisar Lok Shaba constituency.
Belonging to the Jat community is the sitting MP from Hisar, Dushyant Chautala, and Bijender Singh. Congress’ Bhavya is from the Bishnoi community. The Congress is funding a polarisation of the voters who are not Jat, an approach that BJP has conducted in Haryana under chief minister Khattar.
Hans Raj Bishnoi, a political analyst and former Director Prosecutor from Haryana told DH that the majority of the votes of Jat will most probably be divided between JJP, INLD and the BJP. He added that as the Congress is supporting a non-Jat candidate, the BJP’s efforts to polarise the non-Jat votes may not be effective.
For the moment, Hisar’s election campaign seems to be missing on the real problems concerning people. The BJP is hunting for votes in the name of PM Modi and its bureaucrat-turned neta candidate’s political inheritance, just like in the other regions of the country. However, the caste arrangement will be the one to highlight the conclusion of the elections in this risky constituency.
