Jist reporter Medha travelled to Rohtak, the political bastion of former Haryana Chief Minister Bhupendra Singh Hooda, to gauge the mood ahead of the upcoming Haryana assembly elections. Rohtak, and particularly the Gadhi Sampla Kiloi constituency, is a significant stronghold for Hooda, who is contesting once again from here. His main challenger is BJP’s Manju Hooda, a notable political figure in her own right.

 

In Rohtak city, Congress MLA Bharat Bhushan Batra is facing off against BJP’s Manish Grover, a former minister in the Haryana government. As Medha moves through Rohtak’s urban and rural areas, she talks to the local residents about their views, expectations, and the issues that matter most to them in this assembly election. Will the Hooda legacy hold sway, or is the tide turning in Rohtak's political landscape?
