Ability to deliver a good showing in Jat belt will determine RLD’s future role

The RLD hopes for a ministerial position for Jayant Chaudhary in the Modi government that it claimed was bound to return after polls. But this strongly hinges on the RLD’s ability to deliver a good showing to the BJP in the polls, proving that the party does have a sway over Jat voters in western UP.

Jayant’s adjustment within the Modi government and his political significance will undoubtedly be measured against his party’s ability to translate its regional influence into tangible electoral gains for the broader alliance. (HT FILE)
