BJP President Madan Kaushik’s Winning Streak Might Face a Challenge

Haridwar is one of the top constituency seats of Uttarakhand from where some prominent leaders are in the fray. And, during this year’s Assembly election, Uttarakhand BJP president Madan Kaushik’s winning record from Haridwar (city) since 2002 is likely to face a challenge from Congress’ Satpal Brahmachari, a seer who has been fielded against him for a second time after 2012.

Kaushik is four times MLA from the Haridwar constituency. After filing his nomination from Haridwar, Kaushik said, “The BJP is showing a good process in all the states. We are planning to work for the enhancement of the tourism industry in Haridwar.” But, Brahmachari’s performance as former chairman of Haridwar Nagar Palika, his clean image, and the anti-incumbency against Kaushik may make the fight in the constituency close, political observers maintained.
