BJP’s Jind victory strengthens Khattar

BJP’s victory in the Jind assembly bypoll has come as a morale booster for the party ahead of Lok Sabha polls, validating the choice of Manohar Lal Khattar to lead the first-ever saffron government in Haryana.

BJP’s Krishan Midha defeated Digvijay Chautala, the rebel grandson of former CM O P Chautala who was in the fray on the platform of Jannayak Janata Party (JJP), by nearly 13,000 votes. Congress’s Randeep Singh Surjewala, head of the party’s national media cell who has gained prominence under Rahul Gandhi, came a poor third and just managed to save his security deposit.

Chautala’s INLD suffered a bigger humiliation. Its candidate Umed Raghu polled a measly 3,454 votes.

The bypoll was held following the death of Midha’s father H C Midha, who had won it on an INLD ticket.
