ROHTAK: When the Modi wave decreased the Congress from 9 seats in 2009 to just one in Haryana in 2014, handiest certainly one of its leaders held on to his constituency — former CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda’s son and threetime MP, Deepender Singh Hooda.
The 41-year-old baby-kisser could have survived what used to be dubbed as ‘Tsunamo’, however the Congress’s potentialities have handiest worsened in the constituency after the closing Lok Sabha elections — be it the assembly elections later that yr or the MC polls in December closing yr. In spite of the Congress now not doing well in the parliamentary phase after 2014, Deepender claims to have brought “remarkable building” to it all over his time as its MP since 2005. The basis stones of the Indian Institute of Management, a design institute of “nationwide reputation” and an AIIMS centre had been laid in Rohtak ahead of the BJP got here to power on the Centre in 2014.
Deepender first entered ballot fray on the age of 27, when his father vacated the seat to contest the assembly polls in 2005. His grand- father, Ranbir Singh Hooda, won from the seat in 1952 and 1957. Now, to topple the Congress, there are talks of the BJP fielding former Army chief Dalbir Singh Suhag. BJP state in-charge Vishwas Sarang stated they had been devising a strategy to defeat the Congress. On his section, Hooda says the violence which rocked Haryana, particularly Rohtak, all over the Jat agitation for reservation used to be an result of the “divisive politics of BJP”.
Hooda used to be observed as unbeatable on his seat until the point the family-backed candidate misplaced the Rohtak mayoral ballot. The birthday party relied closely on him all over the Jind bypoll and he campaigned there extensively, however birthday party candidate Randeep Surjewala got here in third. This would be the first time that Deepender can be dealing with an election without the cushion of his father being in power. In 2005, when he won the election, Deepender’s father used to be the sitting MP. In 2009 and 2014, Bhupinder Hooda used to be the CM. The incessantly talkedabout ‘Jat as opposed to non-Jat’ factor may even play a an important role in Deepender’s reelection.
