GENERAL ELECTIONS 2019: A STUDY OF ROHTAK PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUENCY OF HARYANA

Abstract

In compared to 2014, the Rohtak parliamentary constituency had a Modi wave during the general elections, which increased the winning margin in the Lok Sabha elections of 2019. Numerous causes were important in the BJP party's incredible win. The wave of support for the BJP government at the national level has been fuelled by feelings of nationalism, particularly in the wake of the attack on security personnel in Jammu and Kashmir known as the Pulwama. A key element in the Lok Sabha elections in the area was the degree of transparency in the operation of the Haryana state government. Caste was a significant factor in the elections as well. Deepender Singh Hooda's accomplishments, such as the founding of the All-India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Indian Institute of Management (IIM), in addition to other developmental works and Metro connectivity up to Bahadurgarh of constituency, have been overshadowed by the Jat-reservation/agitation of 2016 and widespread violence in Rohtak. In addition to the variables, the role of caste in the Rohtak Parliamentary constituency elections is examined in the current paper.
