Gustakhi Maaf Haryana -Pawan .Kumar Bansal.
Forecast of Haryana assembly elections. Our readers across the world including large number of NRIs are asking what will be likely results.?Am not an astrologer but on basis of my five decades experience of covering Haryana elections sharing my inputs with my enlightened readers.
BJP is going to occupy the role of leader of opposition between 20 to 25 assembly seats. Congress is forming government by getting between 50 to 55 seats. Others including BSP – INLD alliance, Kanda’s and independents Savitri Jindal etc. ranging from 10 to 15 seats.
Next question who will be CM and leader of opposition. ?From Congress side senior Hooda stands good chances of becoming CM. If choice is for Dalit then Udaybhan and Geeta Bhukal could prove consensus candidate as Selja cannot oppose SC candidate. Leader of opposition Naib Saini is natural choice. It is good for democracy then Congress is getting clear majority so there will be no chances of hoarse trading for which Haryana is known across the world. Modi magic failed miserably. Strong anti incumbency particularly against Manhar Lal who was kept away even by BJP. Initially Congress which was expecting sixty five seats get down due to over projection of Junior Hooda as CM and casteist and derogatory remarks by over enthusiastic supporters of Hooda against senior Congressman leader Shelja. And some Congress candidates promising jobs !quota but Rahul’s visit has controlled the damage.
Remarks by
Devinder Singh Surjewala – Political analyst .
Circumstances are in favour of Congress. Anti incumbency of BJP government led by Khattar and his associates. Mal practice, functioning of government and non delivery of services is the main factor which will defiantly harm BJP prospectous. Modi factor has no impact at all. Public issues unemployment, development of infrastructure, corruption, ‘bizli -sadak- pani’, canal water deficiency and distribution, MSP, Agniveer, paper leakages, OPS, family ID – PPP, property- ID, portal government, lack of ‘Jansunvai’ many others. Common man is suffering and facing hardship in daily life. People are fed up with the activities like blame game, division of society, castism, jumlebazi. Resulting graph of BJP is down. That favours and suits Congress. Some how people feel those days during Congress regime were better. That is the reason Congress is getting close to power in Haryana. I October 2024.
