In 2007, Ch. Kuldeep Bishnoi,
along with his father, the Late Ch. Bhajan Lal made a decision to change the
lives of the people of Haryana, and take into their own hands, the vast
multitude of grave problems faced by their people. Subsequently, the Haryana
Janhit Party was formed on December 2nd, 2007.
Ch. Kuldeep Bishnoi has always
been known for being a qualified, well-learned man with highly commendable
morals and values and this has been echoed in his political career and his
party HJC (BL). He has initiated a number of projects that has created national
benchmarks and steered Haryana towards progress and development. The outcome
has been a massive change in the developmental status of the states and efforts
to bridge the mammoth socio-economic gap. Its people have enabled his regional
party to take precedence and win the loyalty and trust of the Haryana
population.
Ch. Kuldeep Bishnoi has skilfully
maintained a balance between several conflicting demands and interests. He has
not let the needs of development impinge on the lifestyle of the farmers. The
farmers, who constitute majority of the population of the state, often face
serious difficulties because of developmental projects. They have often
lamented over the fact that the present Congress government seem to have
ignored the agricultural development of Haryana and are largely bent towards
industrialization, and that too at the cost of the livelihoods of many farmers
who lost their fertile land.
Kuldeep Bishnoi’s political
handling of balancing both interests has brought some respite, such that the
interests of farmers remain protected. He started a massive campaign against
corporate stalwarts so as to force the present government to address these
concerns. He stresses on the importance of industrialization and globalization
but not at the cost of livelihood of the people and social balance.
While social work has been one of
the primary objectives of the HJC under the leadership of Kuldeep Bishnoi, he
has not let this impede the party’s efforts toward the development and progress
of Haryana.
As far as his accomplishments in
the political sphere are concerned, Ch. Bishnoi’s excellence in the field has
been proved time after time. In many major elections (in 1998, 2007, 2009 and
2011) he has defeated other well-established political contemporaries such as
Ajay Chautala, INLD party, the grandson of Late Ch. Devi Lal (Chief Minister of
Haryana [1977 to 1979] and sixth Deputy Prime Minister of India [1989 to
1991]), and is the son of Om Prakash Chautala, who was the incumbent Chief
Minister of Haryana at the time of Ajay Chautala’s defeat. He also defeated Jai
Prakash, a congress candidate and former Union Minister who also lost his security
deposit.
These consecutive victories led to
a major reorganization of the political parties in Haryana. With Ch. Kuldeep
Bishnoi’s political leadership on the rise and gaining more popularity, the HVP
was compelled to merge with the congress to sustain itself. The victory of Ch. Kuldeep
Bishnoi over the two political progenies led to the decline of the political
activism of the INLD party in Haryana and further triggered the downfall of the
Chautala’s dominance over Haryana.
Kuldeep Bishnoi has been a firm believer in
modern values and ideas and promotes those structural changes needed to meet
the new demands of society. He has been a strong supporter of free primary
education and has also developed many women’s education schemes to encourage
literacy for women and prevent the dropout rate among women. He has supported
many other social causes such as those relating to environmental concerns and
believes in empowering the youth. He thoroughly utilizes his skills to
effectively implement strategies that cater to Haryana and its people and thus
has truly earned the loyalty and trust of people.
