Political Situation in Haryana

The gap between the democracy taught in the text books and the real democracy that takes
place is apparent. The approval and dismissal of Government’s work in its tenure is not the
single most factor which decides the course of the elections and the results. The upcoming
Haryana Assembly Elections too falls in the line.

The recent Lok Sabha Polls have shown us that Modi’s charisma is unparalleled and
nationalistic wave will be running high among the voters after the repealing of Article 370
which gave special status to state of Jammu and Kashmir.

Haryana since long have been considered as a state of Jats where 7 of 10 Chief ministers
have been Jats. The Jat factor has been brushed off by the BJP Government and since last
five years, the BJP has made in roads to woo the other voters of the state. Jats who form
29% of the state population have been turned down considerably in the last five years from
the 2016 Jat agitation and till now.

The issue of Satluj Yamuna Link Canal which lays out the terms of Water sharing between
the states of Punjab and Haryana has been neglected since the formation of Haryana by all
the major parties now in the Government since 1999 but none has seen to resolve the issue.
The axe may fell on BJP as the Supreme Court’s decision regarding it came in 2016 but it
didn’t make any improvements despite the SAD Government, it’s national ally in Punjab.

Manohar Lal Khattar who was seen as incompetent after the handling of the Jat agitation
protests in 2016 and rumours of his removal were high has formed a clean image of one
who works on the guidelines of Narendra Modi among voters. The other parties have failed
to counter the weak leadership of whom Congress Bhupinder Singh Hooda, a popular Jat
leader is being investigated by CBI for corruption and is often linked with land deals of
Robert Vadra and Indian National Lok Dal leader Om Prakash Chautala is in jail for illegally
recruiting over 3,000 unqualified teachers in the state.
Also after last year rift in the INLD party, when the grandsons of O.P. Chautala, Dushyant
and Digvijay were expelled from the party for indulging in indiscipline, the voteshare of the
INLD fell from 24% in 2014 assembly polls to mere 2% in the Lok Sabha Polls benefiting BJP
voteshare from 33% in 2014 assembly polls to 58% in Lok Sabha Polls. Dushyant and Digvijay
have added another angle in the state politics after they formed their own political outfit
Janta Jannayak Party (JJP). These elections would be a decisive battle on the survival of
these parties.

Politics is a game of creating perception among people. If you succeed in creating a

favourable image of yours then you may emerge as the winner. For now, BJP seems far
ahead in the field, though you never know when Politics take turns. Also, these Assembly
Polls will indicate whether the moves like removal of Article 370 will impact voters or State
Politics will take a toll on them.

8. Jat- 7 out of 10 state cms were jats--- To predict the results of the next elections
in Haryana we need to, first of all, take a look at the sequence of events in the
previous 3 and a half years. In the 2014 elections, the BJP swept the Urban
and the non-Jat seats in the state, which helped it grab power with Manohar
Lal Khattar at the helm of affairs.

The regime of the current government has been marked with inefficiency and lack of
decision making will. But the fact of the matter is that the BJP has now made its own
vote-bank comprising of the non-jats.

No doubt that the Jats are the most abundant community in the state, but this vote
will be divided between two other parties that is the Congress and INLD, and some
of it will also go to the BJP. This weakens the position of the Jats and eventually the
other two parties.

The Congress party is divided into factions, and the leaders of the INLD also have
similar problems with each other. If both the parties somehow manage to cobble
together their wings the fortunes may change and favour the current opposition.
