Expansion
Veteran Congress leader Kiran Chaudhary has now left the Congress. There are strong chances of her joining the BJP. By joining the BJP, Kiran Chaudhary’s political stature can increase in Bhiwani as well as Ahirwal because the Bhiwani-Mahendragarh parliamentary seat is in the BJP’s kitty.
During the election, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had taken the name of former Chief Minister Chaudhary Bansi Lal from the stage in the rally and had appeased Bansi Lal’s supporters by sharing the memories of 1996. However, the seed of Kiran’s separation from Congress was sown in front of Rahul Gandhi in the rally held in Charkhi Dadri, because the bitterness between Kiran and Rao Dan Singh became public at the time of elections and after the election Rao Dan Singh had also accused Kiran of not supporting him.
Former Chief Minister Chaudhary Bansi Lal’s family had a great influence in the Bhiwani-Mahendragarh Lok Sabha constituency. Bansi Lal’s granddaughter Shruti Chaudhary has also been an MP from here. For some time now, rumours and speculations about Kiran had intensified in the political corridors, but after her resignation from Congress on Tuesday, the picture has now become clear. Kiran is also taking her daughter Shruti’s political future with her. In such a situation, Kiran Chaudhary’s decision will also decide her daughter Shruti’s political future.
All three Lals of Haryana will be one branch
The three Lals have been important in Haryana politics. Devi Lal, Bansilal, Bhajan Lal. The interesting thing in this reversal will be that family members of all the three Lals will now join the BJP. All three will be on the same branch of the BJP tree. At the same time, MPs from Bhiwani-Mahendragarh Lok Sabha constituency Choudhary Dharambir Singh and Kiran, who have been bitter rivals in politics, will now be part of the same party.
Now the path of nephew is clear in Congress
Anirudh Chaudhary’s wish of contesting election from Tosham while Kiran is in Congress can also be fulfilled now. This would not have been possible while his aunt Kiran Chaudhary was in Congress. Former MLA and Bansi Lal’s elder son Ranbir Mahendra can also contest from Congress on Badhra seat. The family dispute between Mahendra and Kiran in Bansi Lal family is also well known. In such a situation, one faction of Bansi Lal family can remain in Congress and the other in BJP.
