 Summary of this article
- Abhay Chautala’s Rohtak rally positions him as a challenger to Bhupinder Hooda in Haryana’s Jat politics.
- The INLD seeks revival amid disillusionment with both Congress and JJP leadership.
- Chautala aims to reclaim Chaudhary Devi Lal’s legacy and bridge the Jat–non-Jat divide in Haryana.
By holding the 112th birth anniversary celebrations of Chaudhary Devi Lal in Rohtak on September, 25, 2025, Abhay Chautala has sent a clear message that he is ready to lock horns with Bhupinder Hooda in his home turf. In the 2024 Assembly elections, the Jats, the dominant community in Haryana, had high hopes from Bhupinder Hooda that he would wrest power from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and once again establish the dominance of the community in the State. The electoral debacle sent a wave of disappointment and also resentment against Bhupinder Singh Hooda for losing the battle. Hooda was blamed for deliberately not going all out against the BJP because of the numerous corruption cases lodged against him. A common perception has gained ground that Hooda has sought his freedom through some kind of an agreement with the BJP, which in a way was responsible for the victory of the BJP, leading to the formation of the BJP government for the third time in the state. This is a record of sorts because no party has been able to form a government thrice consecutively in Haryana.
The split faction of the Indian National Lok Dal (INLD), called the Jan Nayak Janta Party (JJP), lost its credibility after it formed a coalition government with the BJP in 2019. The JJP was seen as a corrupt outfit and could not win even a single Assembly seat in the elections of 2024. Now, a clear vacuum has emerged in Haryana politics on two fronts: the first one is: who is the leader who would be able to challenge the BJP in the 2029 elections. The second is regarding the vacuum in the leadership of the dominant Jat community. Both the JJP and Bhupinder Singh Hooda do not inspire confidence in their ability to confront the BJP in state politics.
