Chaprauli - The Undisputed Seat of RLD

New Delhi: Chaprauli has its own political atmosphere, which is distinct from the rest of the country. Only since 1937 has Chaudhary Charan Singh's dominance over Chaprauli been unbroken to the present day. Chaudhary Charan Singh represented this constituency in the British-era UP Assembly in 1937 and 1946, and in the post-independence UP Assembly in 1952, 1957, 1962, and 1967. Since then, either the Chaudhary Charan Singh family or one of its candidates has been elected to this position. Following that, he became involved in the politics of the center.

The Undisputed Seat of RLD:

His daughter Saroj Verma was elected to the legislature from this seat in 1985, and his son Chaudhary Ajit Singh was elected to the legislature from this seat in 1991. Advocate Narendra Singh also made five trips to the Assembly from this location. In other words, Chaprauli is the RLD's invincible fortress of defense.

Despite the blazing surge of support in 2017, the BJP continues to struggle to win over people in this region, despite the lone MLA who was elected from Chaprauli in the RLD. In this constituency, there are 1.30 lakh Jat voters. Whatever the wind is blowing, they have the capacity to take a position on the matter. In 2002, RLD was elected to this seat as a member of the Legislative Assembly. Pro. Ajay Kumar has been nominated by Congress, while the BJP has nominated MLA Sahendra Singh Ramla with the goal of bringing down the impenetrable fortress of the Chaudhary family. Sahendra was elected as an MLA in 2017 under the RLD's electoral symbol, but then switched allegiances and joined the BJP.

It is the BSP's belief that by fielding Sahik in this election, it would be able to juggle Muslim votes with the party's cadre vote bank. Dr. Yunus Chowdhury is the candidate that Congress has chosen. AAP has fielded Rajendra Khokhar from this district in the hopes of creating a dent in the Jat vote totals. Mahendra Singh Ramla, a candidate for the RLD who received 65,124 votes in the previous election, then joined the BJP, won the poll.

While the BJP's Sampendra Singh received 62,282 votes, the SP's Manoj Chaudhary received 391841 votes, and the BSP's Manwala received 30,247 votes. Because the SP-RLD is participating in this election, the RLD candidate's stance is a strong signal that the seat rescued by Chaudhary Charan Singh will stay with the RLD. However, it is not until the farmers' protest that the Jat voters come to their senses and decide to band together. Despite some dissatisfaction with the SP over the ticket-sharing dispute, the RLD will get a sizable proportion of Jat votes.

The Jat-Muslim coalition has been reinforced this time around as a result of the agreement with the SP, which would be beneficial to Ajay Kumar. Muslims will cast their ballots in areas where their interests will be obvious. While some voters remain mute, some who are vocal describe the equation in their own words, while others express the equation in their own words. It will be crucial to understand the attitudes of the quiet voters when it comes down to the wire.

The farmers' uprising in Chaprauli has had a significant effect. Farmers in this region are enraged at the non-payment of sugar cane dues as well as the partial construction of the Chaudhary Charan Singh Canal Project, which connects them to the state of Haryana. An enduring need in this region is for a bridge over the Yamuna. However, while the bridge's foundation stone was placed in 2017, the bridge has not yet been built.
