BJP holds door-to-door campaigns across Haryana Polls
As per report just ahead of the october 5 haryana assembly elections, all sides are trying to woo the farmers who hold the key to power in the state. The ruling bharatiya janata party is particularly concerned about getting the votes of this section of society. With massive anti-incumbency after a 10 year rule and recent protests by farmers, the bjp is keen to make amends.Perhaps sources aware of the development said that the bjp will hold door-to-door campaigns across the state for this reason. Leaders from the national to the state level will hold interactions with farmers and farmer leaders. Programmes like chaupals in villages and tiffin meetings with farmer leaders will be organised. The bjp leaders will also elaborately explain the work that has been done by the narendra modi government at the Centre and the haryana government in the state for the welfare of the farmer community. In fact, in their door-to-door interaction, the bjp leaders will also distribute pamphlets to these farmers, highlighting how past governments “failed to work for them and only used them as vote banks”.Moreover all 90 assembly seats in haryana will have voting in a single phase on october 5. The bjp was able to form the government in both 2014 and 2019. In 2019, with a reduced tally, the bjp formed an alliance with Dushyant Chautala’s Jannayak Janta party (JJP) to form the government. However, just before the elections, the alliance split and chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar stepped down, replaced by Nayab Singh Saini. Khattar came to Delhi, contested the lok sabha elections from Kurukshetra, and is currently a cabinet minister in the Modi government. saini is BJP’s chief ministerial data-face for the upcoming assembly polls. The bjp is in a bitter battle with a buoyant congress led by bhupinder singh Hooda. However, the congress is also facing multiple issues like being a divided house. lok sabha member of parliament Kumari Selja and Hooda’s differences have created unease in the party.
