Haryana. The last date for filing nomination papers for Haryana Assembly Elections was 12 September. This time both the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress faced a lot of difficulties in ticket distribution. While the BJP has been in power for 10 years and is trying to come to power for the third time, the Congress wants to end its decade-long political exile by taking advantage of the anti-incumbency wave.
On the last day of nomination, BJP convinced Ram Bilas Sharma to withdraw his nomination from Mahendragarh assembly seat. Ram Bilas Sharma announced his withdrawal of nomination in a very emotional atmosphere. During this, he said emotionally that only 10-15 years of my life are left. Now I want to die wrapped in the party’s flag. I do not want to separate from the party but apart from Ram Bilas Sharma, BJP could not convince any other leader.
At the same time, leaders like Himanshu Sharma from Panipat and Shamsher Kharkhara from Meham seat are also creating problems for the BJP. Apart from this, BJP has also got a challenge on Ateli assembly seat, Santosh Yadav has rebelled here. He is also the vice-president of the state BJP. Voting is to be held in Haryana on October 5. In this way, only 21 days are left for the elections and apart from competing with Congress, BJP will also have to deal with its rebels.
BJP has fought this election alone and could not form an alliance with anyone. Jannayak Janata Party which was in power for about 4 and a half years has now separated. In this way, BJP is not only alone in the election, but the rebels are also busy creating a lot of tension for it. At present, BJP sources say that 16 September is the last date for withdrawal of nomination and BJP is trying to persuade some more rebels like Rambilas Sharma.
