Expansion
Before the assembly elections in the capital Delhi, after the resignation of Najafgarh area MLA and Delhi government minister Kailash Gehlot from his post and saying goodbye to the Aam Aadmi Party, the relevance and role of the leaders of Jat community is again at the center of Delhi politics. Have brought.
BJP was not focusing much on the Jat community for the last few years, but now it is trying to make inroads in this community. Leaders of Jat community started gaining importance in Delhi politics in the year 1971. After the departure of Kailash Gehlot, AAP took swift action and announced to give ministerial post to its Jat MLA from Nangloi, Raghavendra Shaukeen. This decision is clearly an attempt to appease the Jat community and maintain political balance. Apart from this, AAP has taken steps towards strengthening the Jat leadership by including former Congress MLA from Matiala Somesh Shaukeen. It is clear from this strategy of AAP that the party does not want to lose the Jat community.
Play an important role in outer areas
Jat voters play an important role in rural areas outside Delhi. BJP and Congress are already trying to establish their presence in these areas. At the same time, by including Kailash Gehlot in the party, BJP has indicated that it is also serious about winning the Jat community in its favor. This move seems to be part of the party’s strategy where it wants to strengthen its vote bank in rural areas of Delhi. The importance of Jat community in Delhi politics has been seen since 1971. From that time till now, Jat leaders have left a deep mark in the politics of Delhi. Be it the era of Congress rule or the new politics of BJP and AAP, the influence of Jat leaders never diminished.
