As the Haryana and Jammu-Kashmir assembly elections are coming closer, BJP has intensified its preparations. This is the reason why Prime Minister Narendra Modi has demanded BJP to take action against these leaders.
He has taken over the command himself. He has started election rallies in both the states. BJP hopes that this will help the party overcome the difficulties in election campaign. Rebellion and resignations are being seen since the list of candidates was released in both the states. In such a situation, the party has to make strategy on two fronts. First, the party has to face its opponents, second, the rebels who have planned to contest the elections alone by resigning. Be it Jammu-Kashmir or Haryana, the BJP leadership will not want to lag behind in the competition anywhere. This is the reason why the party has intensified the campaign.
PM Modi starts election rally
If BJP gets good seats in Jammu and Kashmir, it will be a good thing for it. This is because this is the first election there after the removal of Article 370. Removing Article 370 was a big decision of BJP. The party will definitely want to capitalize on this issue in this election. However, senior party leaders in Haryana are scared. This is because there is an anti-incumbency wave there and the displeasure of its own people regarding ticket distribution is also a big reason. The party leadership is afraid that rebels can spoil their game. If this happens, the party may have to suffer losses in the assembly elections.

Why is victory in Haryana important for the BJP?
If BJP loses in Haryana after the Lok Sabha elections, the morale of the opposition will increase further. A senior party leader admitted that a lot is at stake in this election. He said that by having its own government in Haryana, BJP is able to calm down the heat generated by the farmers' movement to some extent. Defeat in Haryana will mean that after Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and Delhi, another state will go into the hands of the opposition. The farmers' movement had received the most support in these states. In the recently concluded Lok Sabha elections, the party had suffered a setback in another BJP-ruled state, Uttar Pradesh.
The factor of farmer movement is important
According to a party leader, protesters from Punjab and Haryana could have been stopped at the borders before entering the national capital. The BJP government in Haryana, when the farmers' agitation was at its peak, prevented it from becoming a national protest. Losing Haryana means that such protests and movements led by the Opposition can reach Delhi without any hindrance.
BJP would not want to let Gurugram go out of its hands!
Another aspect of Haryana's loss is Gurgaon, which is the fastest growing area for investment and real estate in North India. Another such area is Noida, which is in UP. Two other such hubs are Hyderabad and Bengaluru, which are already in Congress-ruled states. The senior BJP leader said that if Gurugram also goes to the opposition, it simply means that almost all the fast-growing metropolises will be with the opposition. This may be more beneficial for the Congress rather than harming the BJP. This is because the opposition party is facing a huge shortage of resources. The Haryana election is important because after this there is the Maharashtra election, where the commercial capital is Mumbai. There too the BJP is facing tough competition from the opposition.
Special scheme in ticket distribution
Some party leaders have been questioning whether too much churning was done in the list of BJP candidates in Haryana. Especially considering that it was identified as a major factor in BJP's defeat in crucial UP in the Lok Sabha elections. The BJP's core team for Haryana includes Union minister Dharmendra Pradhan, election in-charge Biplab Kumar Deb and co-in-charge Satish Poonia. Biplab Kumar Deb, former Haryana CM Manohar Lal Khattar, CM Nayab Singh Saini, state BJP chief Mohan Lal Badoli and Haryana organisation in-charge Phanindra Nath Sharma played a key role in the selection of candidates apart from deciding the election strategy. A source in Haryana said the final decision was taken by Union Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP national president JP Nadda.
Trying to satisfy every class
However, sources also said that the rebellion does not mean that there were flaws in the selection of candidates. Unprecedented care was taken for this, said a leader. Sources said that no popular or mass leader was ignored. For example, among others, the name of senior leader and Lok Sabha MP Krishan Pal Gurjar is included. A source said that if he is unable to get a ticket for his son, at least five of his supporters are included in the list.
No intention to disrespect veterans
Similarly, Union Minister of State Rao Indrajit Singh, who wants to become CM, has got ticket for his daughter Aarti Singh Rao from Ateli. Apart from this, there are nine supporters on other seats. A leader said that about a dozen candidates have Khattar's approval. Five candidates are on Saini's recommendation. Bhiwani-Mahendragarh MP Dharambir Singh has got tickets for two of his supporters. Former MP Sunita Duggal will now contest from Ratia on behalf of the party.
