In this election also the myth related to Hastinapur remained intact. The entire state was eyeing the Hastinapur seat of Meerut. There was a lot of curiosity from political parties to the public to know the trend here. In the electoral battle, everyone’s eyes were fixed on Hastinapur because there is a coincidence that the party whose candidate won the election in this seat, the same party rules the throne of the state.
Minister of State Dinesh Khatik won from Hastinapur for the second time in a row. In this seat, the myth persisted that if the BJP won from Hastinapur seat, the BJP also got the throne of power in the state. This time one thing related to Hastinapur definitely changed that since 1989, till the 2017 assembly elections, no candidate could register a second consecutive victory from here. Dinesh Khatik broke this myth by registering a win for the second time in a row. Apart from this, there was also a myth that if a minister was made from here, then the government of that party did not come again. In such a situation, Dinesh Khatik also broke the second myth. He was a minister of state, won the elections and the government in the state was also formed by the BJP.
