Haryana Election 2024: Regional Parties Face Challenges from Congress and BJP
Haryana election 2024: Regional Parties Face Challenges from congress and BJP
In the haryana elections of 2024, regional parties are up against the formidable congress and BJP. The Jananayak Janata party (JJP), which emerged as a significant regional force in 2019 by securing 10 seats and 14.80% of the vote, has experienced a decline. Internal strife and defections have weakened JJP’s position, with several MLAs switching to the bjp and others seeking congress tickets.
The indian National Lok Dal (INLD), once a dominant regional party, has also seen a sharp decline in popularity following the rise of JJP. INLD's vote share dropped to just 2.44% in the 2019 elections, winning only one seat. The party's decline is attributed to internal family disputes within the Chautala family.
Additionally, the Jat community, which was a core support base for both JJP and INLD, has largely shifted its allegiance to the congress, further diminishing the regional parties' influence. To regain relevance, INLD has formed an alliance with the Bahujan Samaj party (BSP), while JJP has partnered with the azad Samaj party (ASP). However, the BSP's influence in haryana has been minimal, with its vote share falling to 0.16% in 2019.
In the 2024 lok sabha elections, both JJP and INLD saw significant declines in their vote shares. JJP’s support base dwindled to 0.87%, and INLD's fell to 1.74%. These decreases highlight the struggle of these regional parties to maintain their foothold in the data-face of the dominant congress and BJP.
