Will win 75% of seats in Jat belt: Capt Abhimanyu
NEW DELHI: BJP is going to win 75% of the seats in the Jat-dominated region of Haryana and will sweep the districts of Hisar and Jind, said Captain Abhimanyu, finance minister and the party’s Jat face in the state who himself is contesting from the Narnaund seat in Hisar.
Speaking to ET, Abhimanyu said it was a "false propaganda" of the Opposition that the Jats don’t vote for the BJP in Haryana.
"We are going to win 75% of the seats in the (Jat-dominated) region this time. We will win all seats in Hisar and Jind and most of the seats in Rohtak, Sonipat and Jhajjar," Abhimanyu said.
The BJP could not do well in this region in the 2014 assembly elections but won all the 10 Lok Sabha seats in Haryana in 2019. "Bhupinder Singh Hooda himself lost from Sonipat by a huge margin of over 1.5 lakh votes while his son Deepender Hooda lost from Rohtak. What more proof is needed? The results of the Lok Sabha polls just four months ago showed that Jats and all other communities are against dynasty politics in Haryana of the Hooda father-son duo and are with the BJP government," Abhimanyu told ET. Asked whether the BJP saw Congress, JJP or INLD as its main competition, Abhimanyu said there "was absolutely no competition".
