Jobs, the Agnipath scheme, and farmer and wrestler protests. Sentiments in areas of Haryana on the periphery of the national capital, which vote on Saturday (October 5), revolve around these issues, besides the condition of civic infrastructure. Improvement in women's safety, though, gets a thumbs up.
In Bahadurgarh, which falls in Jhajjar district and where the Delhi Metro Green Line ends, joblessness comes across as the biggest concern. Deepak Kumar, a 24-year-old who once dreamed of joining the Indian Army but couldn't make it, is now scouting for a job. “Those who passed the Class 10 exam during the Covid years are joining the army as Agniveers,” he says. “They aren't as educated and also lack the experience that comes with age.” The better educated ones are now in the same league as them, he laments.
His uncle, Praveen Kumar, echoes the sentiment. “It was unfortunate to see the people of Haryana, the farmers and wrestlers, having to protest,” he adds.
Bahadurgarh is going for a fierce electoral contest amidst these issues.
