In an unprecedented achievement for Haryana, ten athletes received prestigious national sports awards from President Droupadi Murmu. Shooter Manu Bhaker was awarded the Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna, while nine others received Arjuna Awards, with coach Sandeep Sangwan earning the Dronacharya Award.

A Dalit student's suicide in Loharu, Bhiwani, prompts dual investigations - one by police and another by a district committee. The victim was allegedly denied sitting in the exam because she was not able to pay the fee. Two arrests are already made including Congress MLA's brother-in-law. Committee focuses on roll number denial and exam participation restriction.

A Dalit student's suicide at Sharda College Loharu due to inability to pay fees has sparked political controversy. Minister Krishan Lal Panwar demands action against college chairman and MLA Rajbir Phartia, promises justice for the victim's family, and defends government's pro-Dalit stance.

Bhiwani police arrested Rahul, son of college owner Hanuman, in connection with BA student Diksha's suicide. The case involves allegations of harassment over unpaid fees, with evidence suggesting a three-month contact history between the accused and the victim.

The new Haryana cabinet under CM Nayab Saini includes two women ministers, Arti Singh Rao and Shruti Choudhry. Both come from influential political families and their appointments signify the BJP's strategy to balance regional and dynastic politics in the state.

Union Minister Rao Inderjit Singh announces BJP's likely victory in South Haryana based on initial polling trends. His daughter Arti Singh Rao, contesting from Ateli constituency, receives positive feedback from booth agents. Both leaders credit party workers for their dedicated campaign efforts. 

Amit Shah held two rallies in Haryana, challenging former CM Bhupinder Hooda to a debate and supporting Nayab Saini as BJP's CM face. He criticized Congress for internal conflicts and accused Rahul Gandhi of spreading misinformation about OBC reservation.

Hooda, after his impressive roadshow in Ahirwal, today raised the demand for the Ahir Regiment. Hooda, showing his support for the demand for Ahir Regiment, posted his application submitted in Parliament to raise this issue in zero hour, on X. He stated, ‘Valour of Yaduvanshis needs no introduction. Ahirs have been at the forefront of safeguarding the motherland since time immemorial."

The Enforcement Directorate has ramped up its activities against Haryana Congress leaders, including arrests and property raids, as state elections draw near. The Congress accuses the BJP of misusing central agencies for political gain, while the ruling party denies any interference. The actions target associates of former CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda.

Notably, Rao’s reputation as a leader is continuously maligned by the corruption charges against him. Earlier, the name of Rao’s family also appeared in the infamous Adarsh Cooperative Society scam, and in 2022, the alleged scam of 1392 crore which also involved his son shocked everyone.  Interestingly, the stories of Rao Dan Singh’s luxury life are famous in the Ahirwal region. People who used to visit Dan Singh’s residence in Gurugram described it as a “Mahal” and usually bragged about their closeness to the rich MLA.

It was in 1998, during the Lok Sabha elections, when both parties came together and formed the alliance for the first time. Back then, in the 1990s, INLD was a potent force, both at the state and the national level, people across the caste and religion used to vote on the name of Ch. Devilal. Contesting together for the first time in 1996, INLD won 4 seats of Hisar, Bhiwani, Sirsa, and Kurukshetra out of 7 it contested and BSP won the seat of Ambala out of the 3 seats it contested. 

Kiran Chaudhary's decision to join BJP has sparked a political row in Haryana. Congress has filed a petition to disqualify her from the Tosham constituency, citing the anti-defection law. The party has accused her of betraying the people's trust and violating the law.

In 2019, when Congress, once again failed to form government in the state, leaders like Randeep Singh Surjewala, Kiran Chaudhary, and Kumari Selja took charge and attacked Hooda for his ambitions of making his son Deependra Hooda Chief Minister of Haryana.  In the next 5 years, the quarrel over the CM post kept recurring, and those who considered themselves old loyalists of Congress and close to the Gandhi family staked a claim over the Chief minister’s post in Haryana.

The political landscape in Haryana has taken a dramatic turn with the defection of five-term MLA Kiran Choudhry and her daughter Shruti, a former MP, from the Congress to the BJP. This move has sparked a bitter war of words between the two parties, with the Haryana Congress leveling accusations of betrayal and initiating legal proceedings against Choudhry. 

In the aftermath of Kiran Choudhry's defection to the BJP, Kumari Selja, a senior Congress leader, has voiced concerns about the "injustice" done with Choudhry, indicating potential rifts within the party's Haryana unit over handling of loyal workers.

But what goes against Shelja is that she is not a popular face outside the Hisar-Sirsa region while Hooda is known for his smart politics all over the state. While Randeep Singh Surjewala is still not a big name if we talk from the perspective of state politics, he is not anywhere near Hooda in terms of power and support in the state congress.

Kiran joined Congress on persuasion of Rajiv Gandhi and became the General Secretary of the All Indian Mahila Congress in 1986. Known for her closeness to the Gandhi family in her early years, Kiran was elected to the Delhi assembly as the deputy speaker in 1998. In 2005, she contested the by-election of the Haryana Legislative Assembly from the Tosham constituency which was earlier held by her husband but was left vacant due to his demise.

Manohar Lal Khattar’s appointment as the new power minister of India has also raised hope for new developments in the power sector, given that Manohar Lal’s transforming work in the power sector in Haryana made him the popular face of development especially in the backward regions of Haryana. The electricity problem which continuously plagued the villages of Haryana for decades was solved by Khattar during his ten years of rule in the state.  Importantly, Khattar assumes the power ministry at a juncture when the power sector in India is booming.

The political punditry says the future looks bleak for both the “Chautala” parties in Haryana. The political pundits even blame Dushyant for the Lok sabha debacle of both JJP and INLD, claiming that Dushyant’s “apostasy” and his love for power ruined people’s trust in the Chautala clan.

As it is famously said about Haryana, people here claim to own politicians with pride, and if they rally behind someone wholeheartedly, no one can stop that politician from reaching new milestones! The opposite is also true that if someone shows them an attitude of power, the Haryanvi people don’t think twice before showing that person his/her real place.

His commitment and dedication to the farming community of the country earned him the efficacy of “the champion of farmers” and the country commemorates his birthday as 'Kisan Diwas'. He carried out a great deal of work for farmers during his life. The country today remembers the great farmer leader on his 37th death anniversary.

As political parties in Haryana review the outcome of the Lok Sabha elections, the BJP's internal report has raised concerns over potential shrinking of its victory margins in some key constituencies. While the party remains optimistic about its overall win, the report points to challenges in Rohtak and Sirsa, and tough battles in four other seats. 

The recently concluded Lok Sabha elections in Haryana witnessed a fierce battle between the BJP and the Congress-led INDIA alliance. With a 5.5% dip in voter turnout compared to previous polls, the fight for the 10 seats was intense, with at least 7 constituencies witnessing a close contest. The BJP, which had swept all seats in 2019, faced headwinds from the farmers' protest and a resurgent opposition. Let's delve into the key battlegrounds and the factors that could tilt the scales. 

The traditional voting pattern seems to continue in the ahriwal of Haryana and people of the region preffered to vote on the face of the leaders which they voted for years. Rao inderjit Singh seemed to dominate the race of influence in Ahirwal with congress having no such face in the region.

With the mercury touching 45 degrees in most parts of the state, polling was affected in the day due to the hot winds and Haryana saw biggest dip in the polling percentage as compared to the 8 states and UT's.

In a major shot in the arm for BJP's campaign, PM Modi and HM Amit Shah will hold six huge rallies across key Haryana seats, aiming to galvanise voters and boost the party's bid to keep all 10 Lok Sabha seats.

While the congress is still coping with the internal factionalism in the party unit, BJP already declared the list of candidates in the states. From south haryana BJP has repeated same candidates for Gurugram, Mahendragarh-bhiwani, Faridabad. Looking at the current political scenario south haryana seems an easy cake walk for the saffron party.

The Congress party is grappling with finalizing its Lok Sabha candidates in Haryana, with three seats - Bhiwani-Mahendragarh, Gurugram, and Rohtak - causing intense disagreements. Amid the impasse, the party is considering involving Rahul Gandhi to resolve the issue as the Central Election Committee and a sub-committee have failed to reach a consensus.

Digvijay Chautala launched a scathing attack on Manohar Lal Khattar, branding the former Haryana CM as the "weakest candidate" from Karnal. Chautala predicted a tough road ahead for Khattar, claiming he would fail to even get elected as a municipal councillor in the future.

Farmers in Bhiwani district protest against JJP chief Ajay Chautala, forcing him to turn back without holding a meeting. Protesters accuse Chautala of betraying farmers' interests by allying with BJP. JJP MLA resigns from party posts, while Dushyant Chautala's mother defends him. Chautala dismisses the protest as a ruckus by a few.

Bhupinder Hooda, the former Chief Minister, took a swipe at the BJP during his visit to Loharu, criticising the government for its alleged involvement in scandals. Enjoying a cup of tea in chilly weather, Hooda expressed his concerns about various controversies. The visit also included homage to Bansi Lal's memorial in Golagad village.

Haryana Deputy CM Dushyant Chautala secured central approval for vital projects after a meeting with Union Minister Nitin Gadkari. Key initiatives include bypass construction in Uchana, Hisar, and Jind, entry and exit points on 152-D for Mahendragarh residents, and a Panchkula underpass. This collaboration aims to expedite development, improve connectivity, and address local demands, showcasing a joint commitment to Haryana's progress.

Haryana CM Manohar Lal Khattar swiftly suspended Bhiwani's Urban Local Body Executive Officer, Abhay Singh, in response to a citizen's complaint about delayed plot allotment. The complainant had paid three-fourths of the plot's cost, but despite multiple reminders, no action was taken. The Chief Minister emphasised accountability and efficient public service.
