News India Live, Digital Desk: Once again there has been a big earthquake in the politics of Haryana. The results of the Rajya Sabha elections have not only shocked the political circles, but have also raised question marks on the leadership of former Chief Minister Bhupendra Singh Hooda. In Haryana, which is considered the stronghold of Congress, 5 MLAs of the party have switched sides and resorted to ‘cross voting’, which has dealt a huge blow to the party.
Hooda’s henchmen took revenge
The surprising thing is that the MLAs on whom Congress and Hooda had the most confidence turned the tables at the last moment. According to sources, these five MLAs were considered to be from Hooda faction. Their rebellion has created a stir even in the Delhi Darbar (Congress high command). This mutual disunity is being said to be the main reason behind the defeat of the Congress candidate in the Rajya Sabha elections.
The blame fell on these 5 MLAs?
According to reports, the Haryana Congress MLAs whose names are at the forefront of cross-voting discussions were angry with the functioning of the party for a long time. These MLAs voted in favor of the opposition camp or independent candidate instead of the official candidate of their own party. This rebellion has directly benefited the BJP and JJP alliance.
Discipline rod or damage control?
After this incident Bhupendra Singh Hooda is on backfoot. On one hand, the high command is preparing to take strict action (expulsion or suspension) against these MLAs, while on the other hand, factionalism within the party has reached its peak. Leaders like Kiran Chaudhary and Randeep Surjewala have already been raising questions on Hooda’s working style, now this cross voting has given them a new opportunity to attack.
What will be the impact on Haryana politics?
This burglary in the Rajya Sabha elections is sure to have an impact on the upcoming assembly elections as well.
Damage to party image: The message has been sent among the public that Congress is not united.
Changes in equations: The inclination of rebel MLAs can now be clearly seen towards BJP.
Hooda’s challenge: Now the biggest challenge for Hooda will be to keep his remaining MLAs united.
