Voting for Haryana Assembly elections is to be held on October 1. Candidates are also going to be announced soon. BJP called an important meeting on Thursday to discuss the preparations for the election. Apart from JP Nadda, BL Santosh, members of Haryana Core Committee, in-charge Dharmendra Pradhan, Biplab Dev, former CM Manohar Lal Khattar, Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini etc. were present in this meeting. This meeting took place ahead of the meeting of the BJP’s Central Election Committee (CEC) this evening, during which the panel can finalize the names of its candidates for the elections to be held on October 1. The CEC includes BJP chief Nadda, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Ministers Shah and Rajnath Singh, among others.
According to the report of ‘The Tribune’, in this important meeting of BJP, Kangana Ranaut’s statement on farmers given recently was also discussed. BJP MP from Mandi Kangana Ranaut had said in an interview that during the farmers’ movement, miscreants were spreading violence and rapes and murders were taking place there. Apart from this, she had also said that if the central leadership was not strong, a situation like Bangladesh could have arisen in India too. The opposition had fiercely targeted the BJP on this statement of Kangana Ranaut. After this, BJP distanced itself from Kangana’s statement and also advised her.
In the meeting held at JP Nadda’s residence regarding Haryana elections, Kangana’s statement was discussed whether it will have any effect on BJP’s electoral prospects? Apart from this, in the meeting, BJP also made a strategy to woo the influential Jats and Dalits of Haryana. A large part of Jat and Dalit votes in Haryana goes to Congress and now BJP has started trying to get both these votes in its favor in the upcoming assembly elections. After the BJP core group meeting, senior party leader and former Haryana Home Minister Anil Vij said that the party’s state team apprised the central team of the political scenario of the state. He told reporters, “Our party is a democratic party… Now the Central Election Commission will take the final decision (on potential candidates for the assembly elections).”
