In the Haryana assembly elections, senior leaders are seen increasing the tension of the Bharatiya Janata Party. Recently, former minister Rao Narbir Singh has claimed that if he is not given a ticket, he will join the Congress. He is demanding a ticket from the state’s high-profile seat Badshahpur. The special thing is that many big leaders, including senior leader Sudha Yadav and former OSD of former Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, are staking claim on this seat.
According to media reports, Singh has made it clear that he will not contest the elections as an independent candidate this time. He said, ‘I did not get a ticket in 2019. This time I will not contest the elections as an independent candidate. There are only two parties in the fray. So if the BJP does not give me a ticket, I will join the Congress.’ Singh claims that he is the winning candidate from the Badshahpur assembly seat.
Badshahpur seat
There are reports that former MP Sudha Yadav is expressing her desire to contest the assembly elections. She wants to contest from Badshahpur seat. In such a situation, the chances of Narbir Singh getting a ticket seem less. However, the party has not announced the ticket yet. Apart from this, Gurugram MP and Union Minister of State Rao Inderjit Singh is also seen active in ticket distribution for Badshahpur and Ahirwal.
Manish Yadav, who faced defeat in 2019, is also looking for a ticket. Khattar’s former OSD Jawahar Yadav is also active here. Apart from him, BJP district president Kamal Yadav is also staking claim. However, Jawahar Yadav has made it clear that he will continue to work with the ideology of the party.
Why Badshahpur seat is special?
It is also the largest seat in the state in terms of number of voters. The Badshahpur segment, one of the nine seats falling under the Gurgaon Lok Sabha constituency, has 4.5 lakh voters. The report quoted BJP estimates that Badshahpur has around 1.25 lakh Ahirs (Yadavs), 60,000 Jats, 50,000 Scheduled Caste members, 35,000 Brahmins and 30,000 Punjabis. Apart from this, there are also Gujjar, Rajput and Muslim voters here.
