Kiran Choudhary Named BJP Candidate For Rajya Sabha Polls

August 21, 2024, 1:31 am

BJP has nominated 69-year-old Kiran Choudhary, a former Congress heavyweight, as its candidate for Haryana’s lone Rajya Sabha seat by-election slated for September 3.
The decision was announced by party leader Kanwar Pal Gujjar after the BJP Legislative Party meeting. The central election committee of the BJP cleared her name just a day before the nomination deadline. Kiran will be filing her nomination papers at 10 am on Wednesday.

Hours before the announcement of her candidature Kiran, who represented the Tosham constituency in Haryana’s Bhiwani district, submitted her resignation to Haryana Vidhan Sabha Speaker Gian Chand Gupta and the latter promptly accepted it. This resignation has now left the 58-Tosham Assembly constituency seat vacant, with the Haryana Assembly Secretariat issuing an official notification confirming the vacancy as of August 20.
Kiran’s nomination is widely viewed as the BJP’s attempt to secure the influential Jat community’s support in the state, particularly in the Bhiwani region, as the assembly elections loom just 28 days after the Rajya Sabha vote.

Kiran’s departure from the Congress was fuelled by her dissatisfaction over the party’s decision to deny a Lok Sabha ticket to her daughter and former Bhiwani MP Shruti Choudhary. Their defection to the BJP on June 19, this year, marked the end of Kiran’s decades-long association with the Congress, a split that has now reached its apex with her Rajya Sabha candidacy. The daughter-in-law of former Haryana Chief Minister Bansi Lal, Kiran first got elected as an MLA from Tosham in 2005.

Citing her neglect in the Congress and accusing the party stalwart Bhupender Singh Hooda of dictatorship in the party, Kiran Chaudhary joined BJP ahead of the last Lok Sabha elections. She is the daughter-in-law ofChaudhary Bansi Lal, who held the post of the Chief Minister of Haryana thrice.

Kiran Chaudhary’s husband Surendra Singh died in a helicopter crash. After the demise of father-in-law and husband, Kiran Chaudhary carried forward the political legacy of the family. She won the by-election for the first time in 2005. After this, she had marked three consecutive victories in assembly elections in 2009, 2014 and 2019.
The BJP has 41 MLAs in the Haryana Assembly. It has the direct support of 43 MLAs including its ally Haryana Lokhit Party led by Gopal Kanda Halopa and an independent MLA Nayanpal Rawat.

The Congress currently has 28 (excluding Kiran Chaudhary), JJP 10, INLD 1 and 4 independents, i.e. a total of 43 MLAs. There are 5 Rajya Sabha seats in the state. One Rajya Sabha seat fell vacant after Congress’ Deepender Hooda contested the Lok Sabha polls from the Rohtak Lok Sabha seat and won.

Kiran’s strained relationship with the Congress began to unravel during the 2022 Rajya Sabha elections, when senior Congress leader Ajay Maken suffered a shocking defeat amid allegations of cross-voting by party MLAs. The differences had heightened during the 2024 Lok Sabha Elections, when the Congress fielded former chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda loyalist Rao Dan Singh ignoring her daughter.

Kiran, one of the most vocal critics of former Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda, accused him of monopolizing the party’s leadership in Haryana. She recently took a jibe branding the state unit of the Congress as the “Hooda-Betta” party—a sharp reference to Bhupinder Hooda and his MP son, Deepender Hooda.

While Kiran’s elevation has been met with enthusiasm by some within the BJP, it has also sparked discontent among the party’s senior leaders in Haryana who had been lobbying for the Rajya Sabha seat. Political observers warn that this could be a double-edged sword for the BJP: on one hand, Kiran’s candidacy could bolster the party’s influence in the Jat-dominated Bhiwani region; on the other, it risks alienating the party’s core leadership, who may feel sidelined after years of loyalty and hard work. Also there is a strong possibility that Kiran’s daughter Shruti may also get BJP ticket from Tosham assembly constituency.
From a strategic standpoint, Kiran’s election to the Rajya Sabha seems all but certain, given the BJP’s strength of MLAs. Meanwhile, the Congress, perhaps sensing defeat, has chosen to distance itself from the race, citing insufficient numbers. The by-election, necessitated by Congress leader Deepender Singh Hooda’s move to the Lok Sabha, is set for September 3, with the deadline for nominations looming on August 21.

Rajib Bhattacharjee Named BJP Candidate For Tripura’s Rajya Sabha Bypoll

August 20, 2024, 9:30 pm

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has chosen its Tripura state president, Rajib Bhattacharjee, as the candidate for the upcoming Rajya Sabha bypoll in the state. This nomination comes as Bhattacharjee continues to rise within the party ranks, demonstrating his long-term dedication and service.

Party Announces Nominations Across States

In a recent notification, BJP national general secretary Arun Singh announced several nominations for Rajya Sabha bypolls across the country. Mission Ranjan Das and Rameswar Teli have been appointed for Assam, Manan Kumar Mishra for Bihar, Kiran Choudhary for Haryana, George Kurian for Madhya Pradesh, Dhairyashil Patil for Maharashtra, Mamata Mohanta for Odisha, and Sardar Ravneet Singh Bittu for Rajasthan. Rajib Bhattacharjee has been nominated for Tripura.

A Low-Profile Leader with a Strong Foundation

Unlike many senior figures in the BJP-led government, Rajib Bhattacharjee has largely maintained a low profile throughout his political career. His journey began in 1988 when he became a Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) activist. Three years later, in 1991, he joined the BJP and steadily climbed the ranks.

Bhattacharjee has held various organizational roles, including local worker, Mandal president in Banamalipur, general secretary of the Sadar district, treasurer of the state committee, and vice-president. His dedication and hard work culminated in his appointment as Tripura’s BJP chief in 2022, shortly after Dr. Manik Saha succeeded Biplab Kumar Deb as Chief Minister.

Building Strong Relationships Within the Party

Initially considered a close aide of former Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb, Bhattacharjee has successfully fostered a strong relationship with the current CM, Dr. Manik Saha. The Chief Minister has credited Bhattacharjee for his efforts in mobilizing party workers during key elections, including the 2023 assembly elections and the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.

Recent Election Performance

Rajib Bhattacharjee also served as the chairman of the Tripura Khadi and Village Industries Board. In the 2023 assembly elections, he contested from Banamalipur, a constituency that was once a stronghold of Biplab Kumar Deb. However, he narrowly lost to Congress veteran Gopal Chandra Roy by 1,369 votes.

With his nomination for the Rajya Sabha bypoll, Bhattacharjee’s political journey continues, reflecting his enduring commitment to the BJP and its mission in Tripura.

May 25, 2024, 1:51 pm

As polling commenced in Delhi, Bharatiya Janata Party candidate Manoj Tiwari from North East Delhi cast his vote during the sixth phase of the Lok Sabha Elections on Saturday.

Tiwari remarked, “Opposition candidate Kanhaiya Kumar has shown his true identity by abusing our national army, reciting ‘har ghar Afzal niklega,’ and celebrating the loss of lives of our paramilitary forces against Naxalites in Chhattisgarh. People will not waste their votes on such leaders. This election is about choosing the Prime Minister of India, and Modi Ji resides in the hearts of the people. They will vote for the BJP and the nation. He quoted, ‘Vote Narendra Modi Ji Ko, Vote Desh Ko, Vote Kamal Ko.'”

When questioned about the impact of recent events in Delhi, such as the Swati Maliwal case and the arrest of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, Tiwari responded, “The people who protect the corrupt and beat women in their homes with pride and dictatorship will be beaten by Delhi’s voters today. The voters will respond with their votes.”

Manoj Tiwari is the incumbent MP of North East Delhi, having won the seat in 2014 and 2019. In 2019, Kanhaiya Kumar ran as a Communist Party of India (CPI) candidate from Begusarai in Bihar, where he lost to Union Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party leader Giriraj Singh. Kumar later joined Congress in 2021.

The Congress is contesting the Lok Sabha elections in alliance with the AAP in Delhi. Under the seat-sharing arrangement, Congress is contesting three seats while AAP has fielded candidates in four constituencies in Delhi.

The seven Lok Sabha constituencies in the capital are New Delhi, South Delhi, East Delhi, West Delhi, Chandni Chowk, North West, and North East Delhi.
