Ahead of much-awaited Rajya Sabha elections for two seats to be slated on 10 June 2022, the saffron party BJP and the main opposition party Congress are mulling over strategy to win the seats. Apart from this, the state government has given a green signal to conduct the elections of Gram Panchayats and Local Bodies saying that it has no objection to the issue. Following the reaction of the state government, the Haryana State Election Commission is most likely to announce the date for the same here on 23 May 2022 in Chandigarh. 

Thus, in wake of the heated political climate and forthcoming elections of Rajya Sabha, the BJP and the Congress both are on their toes to emerge winners. In this series, both parties have called upon the meetings of state executives in a bid to mull over the strategy and associated aspects in terms of state politics. It is worth noting that two days meetings of the BJP state executives have been slated for 27 and 28 May 2022 in Hisar to be followed by the Chintan Shivir of the Congress to be held in Chandigarh to be held on 31 May and 1 June 2022. 

Everyone is familiar with the ongoing feud in the state congress after the party stalwart Kuldeep Bishnoi is upset with the party high command after he was denied the post of state Congress president. In wake of this, the state party in-charge Vivek Bansal along with other senior leaders are putting their best to convince Kuldeep Bishnoi pertaining to the decision made by the party high command. 

It is pertinent to mention that the Chief Minister Manohar Lal along with the state in-charge Vinod Tawde and the state party president OP Dhankhar will be present in the meeting to discuss the strategy pertaining to aforesaid political issues. Besides, all party MLAs, legislators and union ministers hailing from Haryana have been asked to mark their presence during the meetings so that required suggestions can be taken into consideration. The BJP, even the Chief Minister continues to have a close eye even on minor political ongoing movements in the house. It is a noticeable fact that Congress is a divided house in the state so the BJP is likely to discuss such matters in order to gain political mileage from the issue pertaining to Rajya Sabha elections.  

 There are 90 legislators in the state assembly. It is pertinent to mention that each party requires the support of at least 31 MLAs to win the seat.  Apart from the 6 independent and 10 legislators hailing from the Jannayak Janty Party (JJP), the BJP has its 40 MLAs who fulfil the criteria to win one seat. In this series, the opposite faction Congress is the claimant for the remaining Rajya Sabha seat as the party has the support of its 31 legislators. 

Haryana Congress will hold a two-day Chintan Shivir in Chandigarh following the e-resolution passed in the Udaipur Chintan Shivir. Pertaining to the same,   Haryana Congress in-charge Vivek Bansal met with Congress State President Uday Bhan and the four working presidents at the Congress Headquarters. The leader of opposition Bhupender Singh Hooda, state in-charge Vivek Bansal, newly appointed state party president along with four working party presidents will be present in the Shivir. 

A conference of Congress General Secretaries and state in-charges was held at Congress Headquarters on 17 May to discuss the resolution’s implementation. Further, it was decided also at that meeting that state workshops for the execution of the Chintan Shivir resolution would be held on 1-2 June by Congress’ General Secretaries and in charge.
