Haryana elections: Chaos Erupts in BJP, five Resign After Candidate List, Former Minister in Tears

 On Wednesday, the BJP released its first list of 67 candidates for the Haryana Assembly elections, which has caused significant turmoil within the party. Following the announcement, five leaders have resigned one after another. Meanwhile, some leaders, disappointed by not getting a ticket, are holding meetings with their supporters and planning their next move. Former Cabinet Minister Kavita Jain, while addressing her supporters, broke down in tears and issued a warning to the party to change its ticket allocations.

These BJP Leaders Have Resigned:

  • Ram Kumar Kashyap has been fielded by the BJP from the Indri constituency. Haryana BJP OBC Morcha State President and former minister Karandev Kamboj, upset by this, has resigned from the party, accusing it of favoring traitors.
  • BJP has given a ticket to former MP Sunita Duggal from the Ratia constituency, leading to the resignation of MLA Laxman Napa, who expressed his displeasure with the decision. Napa is expected to join Congress.
  • From the Bawani Khera constituency, BJP has given the ticket to Kapoor Valmiki, prompting Sukhvinder Shyoran to resign from the position of Kisan Morcha President and from the party.
  • The BJP has fielded Anoop Dhanak from the Uklana constituency. Senior BJP leader Shamsher Gill has resigned from both the party and all his responsibilities, citing the wrong allocation of tickets by the party.
  • Nikhil Madan has been given the ticket from the Sonipat constituency, resulting in the resignation of Amit Jain, a member of the BJP Youth State Executive and Assembly Election In-charge for Sonipat.

Meetings Continue After Resignations: After the release of the first BJP list, several major resignations have occurred. Meanwhile, former Cabinet Minister Kavita Jain and former Haryana Chief Minister’s Media Advisor Rajeev Jain, both upset over not receiving tickets, have called meetings with their supporters. During these meetings, slogans were raised against former CM Manohar Lal Khattar and candidate Nikhil Madan. Kavita Jain, in tears, spoke to her supporters and demanded that the party change its ticket allocations. She has called for another meeting with party workers on September 8.

Additionally, the Rania seat has been given to Shishpal Kamboj instead of Ranjeet Singh Chautala. After his ticket was cut, Ranjeet Singh Chautala has also called for a press conference at his residence in Sirsa.
