Why Haryana needs a leadership of Dushyant Chautala





If you visit 18 Janpath in Delhi or any region in Haryana, you’ll see posters all around with slogans “Jaha Dushyant waha hum”. One wonders how a young man of 30 years and a first time parliamentarian is revered by people of Haryana across all ages, caste or gender. Well, it is because of the work done by him in last 4 years in his state as well in the Centre. Dushyant joined active politics in Haryana on Jan 16, 2013 and soon became a youth icon in the state. He defeated Haryana’s strongman Kuldip Bishnoi and became the youngest ever parliamentarian in the history of Indian politics. Despite doing his schooling from Sanawar and higher education from USA, he is considered as one of the most grounded and humble politician who has raised his voice more than 600 times in parliament for farmers and deprived sections of his state.

His fine political acumen and vision made INLD strong at grassroot level. Knowing that the youth is the future of our country he worked at rejuvenating student’s wing INSO. He held youth conferences all across the state and took over the social media publicity of INLD. To exemplify a few under his leadership- INLD boast of being Guinness world record holder for most organs (eyes) donated (10, 458 eyes). He also organized events like Plantation of over 10,000 plants in Haryana on the 100th Birth Anniversary of Ch. Devilal Ji, Former Deputy Prime Minister of India and Collected over 6000 blood units through the Blood Donation Camps in Haryana. To be a top leader of a state, these may seem small initiatives, but this of course shows his sensitiveness and empathy towards the society at such a young age.

His agile and effective performance in Parliament surprises even veteran MP’s. His credentials in parliament speak about him. He is a MP with 84% attendance who was a part of 228 debates in the house.The two facts which suggests his seriousness over raising the voice of people of Haryana are - he raised more than 630 questions in the house whereas other leaders of the state could not ask even 250 questions; he alone introduced 20 private member bills whereas other MPs of the state did only 3. These figures speak a lot about his concern for the rooted issues in Haryana. 

Even in state politics he left no stone unturned in exposing scams under the current government.  He brought up the Haryana Civil Services (HCS) scam where question papers were leaked for recruitment of judicial officers. He also reportedly was instrumental in exposing the thermal power plant scam, the power purchases scam, the pillar box scam and the transformer scam.  Time and again, all shoddy land deals under congress govt. were exposed by him.

Today, his wave and support is undeniable throughout Haryana. This is evident by his performance in last assembly elections when he took over the election campaign in Mahendragarh, Dabwali and Uchana. Pertinently, INLD candidates won all three constituencies.

He may be a neophyte so far as his activities into active political scene is concerned but Dushyant surely has four generations of political blood flowing in his veins. In the absence of his father and grandfather (Former CM of Haryana) he has taken charge of his party in a commendable way. When he speaks no one considers him as novice and he speaks like a veteran who knows his partymen by their names and village. This feeling of belongingness has made people of Haryana display their everlasting loyalty towards him.

Today, some odds are laid against him but this latest entrant to Haryana’s circle of political leaders, exudes confidence and seems poised to inject a breath of fresh air among gray haired politics. Hence, this allows a hope to glow a flickering flame in the debilitated rule in which Haryana has been perennially engulfed since last decade.

Clearly, he has made his mark. His wave is  vivacious, undeniable and unquenchable. Top seat in Chandigarh is where the whole of Haryana wants him to be at. Nothing less.

The Metoric Rise of Dushyant Chautala, people's Deputy CM

Image
Dushyant  Chautala, popularly known as ‘ peoples Deputy CM’, emerged tall after astonishing debut of his political party in 2019, securing 18% vote bank with ten legislators and consequently a king maker of forming Govt in Haryana. Many thought that he achieved his goal but for Dushyant it was a beginning. The political journey of the youth icon turned-politician has indeed been meteoric. In 2014, parliament of India witnessed arrival of youngest ever member who defeated heavy weight Kuldeep Bishnoi (several term MP & son of former CM of Haryana, Bhajan Lal) on Hisar Lok Sabha constituency. At 25, he became youngest member of Parliament not only in India but in whole of Asia. While Dushyant was learning dynamics of national politics in parliament, he was strengthening student wing of his party, INSO(Indian National Student organization) too . It was his initiative that in those times largest blood donation & tree plantation drives were conducted by youth of Haryana. Wh...

Triple Talaq Bill-Bold Political Move by BJP

Image
Bold political move of BJP-Triple Talaq bill Since second century of Islamic era Muslim women have born the brunt of autocratic personal laws. They were treated as a commodity available at a disposal of men in the name of old Muslim personal/marriage rules. It is a known fact that world over law is derived from customs and more or less law is framed over common sensical approach of law makers. Ancient Muslim rulers have always aimed at increasing population base by creating large population for enhancing the community strength. Hence  BIGAMY was allowed keeping this in mind. One of the major atrocities Indian Muslim women have faced over a long period of time are “Divorce laws”. Mere uttering of 3 words will result in ending of marital relationship with no recourse available to women or their children. If we study Muslim talaq laws we will find that the only decision maker or the Initiators for giving talaq are men. Divorce laws in muslims i.e Talaq - ul - Su...

Dushyant Chautala Rose to Farmer’s Cause; Opposition Failed

Image
  Dushyant Chautala Rose to Farmer’s Cause;  Opposition Failed The Indian farmer constitutes 40 per cent of the country and an even higher percentage of its poor and as the available data points out, is under immense stress. The modernization of the central farm laws is nothing but an adaptation of provisions which already exist in many states, including Punjab and Haryana. How come the three acts become anti-farmer in some states and why not in many others is something the activists themselves cannot explain. Big states like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Maharashtra, West Bengal, Rajasthan are not even a part of the farmers’ agitation and there is no protest against the central or state government in these states, despite the fact that BJP is not in power in some of these states. More importantly, some agriculturists and several economists have been campaigning for abolishing MSP   based procurement as it is unfairly tilted towards a few states like Punjab. The central governmen...
