Jat-dominated seat is no one’s stronghold, yet to elect BJP MP

Gurgaon | Monday | 18th February, 2019

Summary:

The seat continues to be out of the reach of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Chautala’s grandson Dushyant, who is the present MP, won the his maiden contest from the seat in 2014. Former Union minister Jai Parkash has been elected as an MP thrice from the seat. The BJP contested independently only twice from Hisar, but its candidates fared so poorly that they had to forfeit their security deposit every time. Aged 25 at the time he was elected, Dushyant, with the win, became the youngest-ever MP in Parliament..
