General Elections 2019: A Study of The Role of Caste and Dynastic Politics in Hisar Parliamentary Constituency of Haryana

Abstract

A Modi wave during the general elections in the Hisar parliamentary constituency in comparison to 2014 enhanced the winning margin in the Lok Sabha elections of 2019. The BJP party's amazing victory was influenced by several different factors. Nationalistic sentiments have fuelled a wave of support for the BJP government at the federal level, especially in the wake of the Pulwama incident in Jammu and Kashmir that targeted security personnel. The level of transparency in the administration of the Haryana state government was a crucial factor in the Lok Sabha elections in the region. Additionally, dynasty politics had a big role in the elections. In this election, the third and fourth generations of three lals who are well-known in Haryana politics are competing. As a result of his ancestry and support from the community's artisans and farmers, Brijender Singh's victory is also supported by Ch. Chhotu Ram politics. The current article also examines the role of caste in the Hisar Parliamentary constituency elections in addition to the variables.
