Congress party’s Randeep Singh Surjewala, who was party president Rahul Gandhi’s choice for the bye-election, settled for the third spot. AdvertisingWhat does it mean for Randeep Singh Surjewala? Politically, it’s a humiliating defeat for the national spokesperson of Congress who could secure just third spot in the bypoll. The bypoll result has proven that Abhay’s nephew Dushyant Chautala’s outfit JJP has attracted a large support base of the INLD. The Jind bypoll has again proved deep-rooted caste politics around Jats and non-Jats in the state.
