From five seats in 2019 to eight in the 2024 assembly polls, the BJP managed to ensure it increased the tally in reserved seats. The BJP during its campaign, focussed on increasing its vote share among the Dalit community. Its special outreach to non-jats and focus on the most deprived among Dalits helped them electorally. Haryana will see Nayab Singh Saini take oath on Valmiki Jayanti. A day carefully chosen by the BJP. The NDA leaders will all be present, the message is loud and clear that the Dalits are also their target caste going ahead in the Maharashtra and Jharkhand polls. Chief Ministers and deputy Chief Ministers of all NDA-ruled states will be in attendance tomorrow during the swearing-in ceremony of Nayab Singh in Panchkula.
