Haryana Dalit Leader Ashok Tanwar’s Sudden Congress Comeback Magnifies ‘20% Poll Plan’ of Parties

In Haryana, Dalit votes are crucial and both the Congress and BJP are vying for their support ahead of the assembly elections on October 5. The entry of Dalit leader Ashok Tanwar back into the Congress is seen as a strategic move by the party. With Dalits accounting for about 20% of the vote share, their support could be a game-changer. The Congress is banking on the Dalit vote following the pattern seen in the Lok Sabha elections, while the BJP is also making promises to woo Dalit voters. The political dynamics in the state are shifting, with the Dalit community becoming a key focus for all parties.
