There is an effort to eliminate the fear of anti-incumbency against the CM and to help 78 backward class communities. BJP is finding it beneficial in the state due to the dispersion of Jat voters and the possibility of joining the non-Jat vote bank.Just before the Lok Sabha elections, BJP has achieved three birds with one stone by making a major reshuffle in Haryana. Changing the face of the Chief Minister of the state within a few hours is being considered a part of the larger strategy of the central leadership of BJP. By doing this, during the Lok Sabha elections itself, BJP has laid a new political chessboard for the assembly elections to be held in Haryana after six months.
Although the opposition is trying to capitalize on the decision to remove Manohar Lal from the post of CM in its own way, the script for removing the CM was not written suddenly. A major reason behind this was the fear of anti-incumbency (protest wave) factor emerging against CM Manohar Lal for the last few months, which the main opposition party Congress in the state was continuously trying to capitalize on but the BJP had already done so before the Lok Sabha elections. An attempt has been made to eliminate this anti-incumbency factor by changing the face of the CM.
Now it is also being speculated that BJP wants to take Manohar Lal into central politics by giving him Lok Sabha ticket. BJP has recently done such an experiment in Madhya Pradesh, where after removing former Chief Minister Shivraj Chauhan, he has now been fielded from Vidisha seat by giving him Lok Sabha ticket.
On the other hand, for the BJP, which has been moving ahead in Haryana by doing non-Jat politics since 2014, the challenge of wooing other communities was also increasing. The opposition is repeatedly accusing BJP of ignoring backward castes. If we look at the situation of backward castes in Haryana, this community cannot be ignored.
A total of 79 castes in the state come under the category of backward class. Of these, 71 castes are included in the category of Backward Class (BC)-A and 8 castes are included in the category of Backward Class (BC)-B. The Saini and Bishnoi communities are part of the BC-B category. The share of backward class caste in the total population of Haryana is considered to be around 21 percent.
Therefore, by giving a new face to the Chief Minister from the Saini community, the BJP has tried to woo the backward classes in the state, whereas the BJP already considers itself to have a good hold on the Punjabi, Bania and Brahmin vote bank in the state.
Apart from this, BJP has also given a challenge to the opposition in Haryana with this shocking decision. Jat voters are considered a deciding factor during elections in Haryana. Since BJP has been deciding its political strategy in Haryana on the basis of non-Jat politics. In that sense, due to the separation of BJP and JJP (Jannayak Janata Party) in the state, BJP is seeing its own political benefit.
If seen, whether it is farmer movement or Jat movement
