In Haryana, the upcoming Rajya Sabha election for two seats has taken an interesting turn after Independent candidate Satish Nandal entered the fray. While the main contest is between Sanjay Bhatia of the Bharatiya Janata Party and Karmaveer Bauddh of the Indian National Congress, Nandal’s presence has revived memories of earlier surprise outcomes in the state’s Upper House polls, including the defeat of Ajay Maken in 2022. As Haryana heads into another closely watched Rajya Sabha election, does the entry of Independent candidate Satish Nandal raise the possibility of yet another political upset, especially given past instances where Congress candidates lost despite having the numbers ?
हरियाणा में राज्यसभा की दो सीटों के लिए होने वाले चुनाव ने उस समय नया मोड़ ले लिया जब निर्दलीय उम्मीदवार सतीश नांदल मैदान में उतर आए। मुख्य मुकाबला भारतीय जनता पार्टी के संजय भाटिया और भारतीय राष्ट्रीय कांग्रेस के कर्मवीर बौद्ध के बीच माना जा रहा है। लेकिन नांदल की एंट्री ने राज्यसभा चुनाव के पुराने चौंकाने वाले परिणामों की याद ताज़ा कर दी है, खासकर वर्ष 2022 में अजय माकन की हार का उदाहरण। ऐसे में क्या सतीश नांदल के मैदान में आने से हरियाणा के इस राज्यसभा चुनाव में फिर किसी राजनीतिक उलटफेर की संभावना बन रही है, खासकर तब जब पहले भी पर्याप्त संख्या होने के बावजूद कांग्रेस उम्मीदवार हार चुके हैं ?
Nitish Kumar has filed his nomination for the Rajya Sabha, paving the way for his exit from the Chief Minister’s post just months after beginning his 10th term. With the Bharatiya Janata Party emerging as the largest party in the Bihar Assembly, leaders such as Samrat Chaudhary are now poised to take over the state’s leadership, marking a major shift in the political balance within the NDA. With Nitish Kumar moving to the Rajya Sabha and a BJP leader likely to take over as Bihar’s Chief Minister, does this mark the definitive end of the Nitish era in state politics and the beginning of full BJP control over Bihar’s leadership ?
