The recent political developments in Haryana have been quite intriguing. With the BJP aiming for a third consecutive term in power, there have been significant changes in leadership. According to sources, the decision to replace Khattar as Chief Minister was driven by an attempt to counter anti-incumbency sentiments. However, internal surveys within the BJP have indicated a challenging path to victory in the upcoming elections. In a surprising move, the BJP reportedly made overtures to influential Congress leaders, offering them the Chief Ministerial position and substantial financial support. One of these leaders, known for her strong connections in the Delhi headquarters, was believed to have sway over ticket distribution. The Congress high command caught wind of these potential deals and took assertive measures to ensure that ticket distribution was free from any ulterior influence. As a result, candidates with criminal cases or repeated electoral losses were denied party tickets, thwarting any underhanded plans. The future actions of the two Congress leaders remain uncertain, as they mull over their next steps. Meanwhile, the BJP is still holding out hope for their support, albeit without any assurance of backing after the elections.
