Hisar Elections 2011
Kuldeep Bishnoi of the Haryana Janhit Congress supported by the BJP to the Lok Sabha.Mr Bishnoi is the son of Bhajan Lal who was the Hisar MP and who died in June this year.The Congress which faced the ignominy of Team Anna campaigning vigorously against it in Hisar came in a poor third behind Mr Bishnoi and Ajay Chautala of the Indian National Lok Dal.The Congress was third in 2009 too.Senior Congress leaders have this and other losses to chew on Of four assembly and Lok Sabha by elections held in different states the Congress has won none.
About Hisar senior Congressman Salman Khurshid said not too much should be read into the Congress dismal showing.Unlike other seats in Haryana Hisar was not a strong seat for us.Not much should be read into it.You win some and you lose some he said.In fact the loss that will hit harder than Hisar is the one closer home to Anna Hazare the Khadakwasla assembly constituency in Pune Maharashtra.
There was no Team Anna campaigning there Raj Thackeray Maharashtra Navnirman Sena that held the seat did not contest and the Congress had fielded a candidate who seemed like a sure shot winner the wife of the MLA who died in harness.But the BJP Shiv Sena candidate Bhimrao Tapkir beat Congress NCP nominee Harshada Wanjale by a margin of 4,000 votes.The Congress also lost to the TRS in an Assembly bye election in Andhra Pradesh and to BJP ally JD U in a Bihar by poll.
