In Faridabad, similar was the fate of Congress candidate AC Chaudhary, whom the party decided to shift from his home constituency Badkhal to Faridabad NIT. The voters were happy with the performance of senior deputy mayor Shivcharan Lal Sharma, who succeeded in making provisions for sewage, drinking water and roads. Since the Congress chose Chaudhary, Sharma decided to contest as an Independent. He won by 7,875 votes. Haryana has seen its urban areas expand rapidly and in areas close to Delhi, that has been cited as a top priority by the Hooda regime. The results in the urban stretch, hence, must be a double disappointment for Congress. (The Indian Express)
The man to be watched is Chautala, a past master in politics, with a chequered political history. He has been a five-time chief minister, including a stint of a few days. He had also engineered the toppling of the Bansi Lal government in 1999 and is known for his political astuteness. The election results have made it amply clear that he and his party retain the support of the Jats, who dominate nearly 35 constituencies.
The Congress vote share fell in the state by a huge 7.4%, from 42.5% to 35.1%. Normally such a big swing away results in the decimation of a party. But Hooda has managed to keep his head above the water, thanks largely to a fractured opposition.
Chautala, too, lost his vote share, but by just 0.7%, while BJP's share fell by 1.4%. The new political outfit, Kuldip Singh Bishnoi's HJC, accounted for 7.4% votes.
Where the results will force a rethink in Congress is the extent to which it continues riding the Jat bandwagon, now that INLD seems alive and kicking. Hooda remains the frontrunner, given his support in CLP as well as his ability to deliver on independents. But the rival groups may join hands to put up a joint candidate. Union minister Selja, a dalit, met party chief Sonia Gandhi to set the party abuzz. The one big change will be the lesson Congress has learnt from Andhra Pradesh post-YSR -- that it cannot put all its eggs in one basket, be it YSR or Hooda. The incumbent's unilateralism and complete decimation of other centres of power, followed by ruling camp's domination of ticket distribution, may not be repeated again.
