Will Jat Support Help Congress Stop BJP’s Dream Run Of A Perfect 10 In Haryana?

News 18  

Ever since the BJP started flirting with the idea of a non-Jat alliance in Jat-dominated Haryana, the results have been remarkably surprising for the party. In the 2014 Lok Sabha polls, the BJP won seven seats out of Haryana’s 10 seats, while INLD won two and the Congress got just one. But with Jats standing unitedly behind the Congress this time, can the Grand Old Party punctuate BJP’s dream run by wresting a few seats? With former chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda, a Jat himself, urging Jats not to get their votes split, it is widely believed that most Jats would vote en bloc for the Congress in Jat-dominated seats like Rohtak, Hisar, Kurukshetra and Sirsa. Also, to counter Congress’ advantage in these four seats, the BJP has fielded a Jat from the Chautala family in Hisar; Ashok Tanwar — former Haryana Congress chief — in Sirsa; current MP Arvind Sharma — a non-Jat — from Rohtak; and Navin Jindal — a former Congress MP from Kurukshetra.
