Abstract

General elections in Faridabad parliamentary constituency witnessed some local issues like completion of delayed Kundli-Manesar-Palwal and Kundli-Ghaziabad-Palwal expressways and six flyovers on Delhi-Faridabad-Agra national highway (NH-2) which gave relief to the regular traffic jam in the city and surroundings, extension of Metro rail line up to Aironda in Faridabad, setting up Shri Vishwakarma Skill University and the grant of smart city status to Faridabad, in addition to Modi wave and feelings of nationalism specially after Pulwama attack on security forces in Jammu & Kashmir added fuel in favour of BJP government at centre level. After Jat reservation agitation, the consolidation of non-Jat in favour of BJP, on the one hand and on the other hand, last-minute declaration of 10% reservation for economically backward classes in government jobs and education sector by central government dented into Jat voters which brought the BJP candidate at number one position with considerable margin.
