As Haryana approaches its elections on October 5, the political landscape is buzzing with promises that could reshape the state. Recently, BSP leader Mayawati declared that if the BSP-INLD alliance wins, Haryana will have a Dalit deputy chief minister. This announcement was made during a public gathering in Uchana, Jind, honoring the 111th birth anniversary of former Deputy Prime Minister Devi Lal.
Moreover, Mayawati emphasized the importance of representation in government. She stated that one deputy chief minister will come from the Dalit community, representing the BSP, while the second will be from the Other Backward Classes or the upper caste. This focus on inclusive representation reflects a significant shift in political priorities.
In addition to this, Mayawati advocated for a caste census. She asserted, “In the country’s interest, I demand the Centre conduct a caste census.” Importantly, she pointed out that this initiative was previously stalled by the Congress government and is currently being delayed by the BJP-led administration. Thus, her demand highlights ongoing discussions about social equity and resource allocation.
Furthermore, Abhay Singh Chautala of the Indian National Lok Dal joined Mayawati on stage. He outlined an ambitious set of welfare measures that the alliance aims to implement if elected. These measures include:
Chautala also promised that anyone needing medical treatment in other states would receive free care. This commitment underscores the alliance’s focus on health and well-being.
Additionally, Chautala committed to providing free plots of 100 square yards for the people with low income. This initiative aims to improve living conditions and support vulnerable communities, demonstrating a clear intention to uplift those in need.
As the October 5 elections draw near, all eyes are on Haryana. Voters are eager to see if these promises will translate into a new era of governance. With results expected on October 8, the stakes could not be higher for the future of the state. Ultimately, the coming days will reveal whether these proposals can inspire change and meet the needs of the people.
Kolkata: On Friday, January 10, 2026, Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha members demonstrated against West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for her actions after the ED raids at the I-PAC office and its chief Pratik Jain's home. | In relation to an alleged coal smuggling case that stretches back a few years, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) searched the Indian Political Action Committee (I-PAC) office and Pratik Jain's home on Loudon Street in Kolkata on Thursday, January 8, 2025. West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee launched a protest against the ED raids on I-PAC after the raid set off a political storm in the state. Why is a chief minister endorsing Pratik Jain, and who is he? Pratik Jain, a political strategist and co-founder of I-PAC, is a graduate of IIT Bombay. He is credited with helping I-PAC grow into one of the most significant political consulting organizations in India. I-PAC was established in 2015 and offers services like data-driven campaign management, support for governance, and voter outreach initiatives. It has collaborated with a number of Indian political groups throughout the years, notably West Bengal's Trinamool Congress (TMC). I-PAC reportedly collaborates closely with Abhishek Banerjee, the national general secretary of the Trinamool Congress, and his office. The company oversees the IT and media division of the Mamata Banerjee-led TMC and is in charge of creating its election campaigns. Mr. Jain was in charge of the Trinamool Congress's IT cell, according to Ms. Banerjee. According to his LinkedIn page, Jain, an engineering graduate from IIT Bombay, started his career as an analyst at the consulting firm Deloitte. He was one of the first members of Citizens of Accountable Governance, which later evolved into I-PAC. Arvind Kejriwal, M.K. Stalin, Jaganmohan Reddy, Uddhav Thackeray, Rahul Gandhi, and Nitish Kumar are just a few of the prominent figures with whom the political consultancy firm has collaborated.…
