Haryana Vika's party

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Haryana Vikas Party ( HVP , "Haryana Progressive Party") was a political party that was active between 1991 and 2004 in the Indian state of Haryana .

Party history

The party was founded in 1991 by the former Chief Minister of Haryana Bansi Lal as a split from the Congress party . This was preceded by internal power struggles in the local organization of the Congress Party in Haryana. The weak leadership of the Congress Party in Delhi under Rajiv Gandhi was unable to resolve the conflict, so that Bansi Lal finally founded a new party with his supporters in Haryana. In Haryana, three “Lals” faced each other - Bansi Lal (HVP), Bhajan Lal (Congress) and Devi Lal (initially Janata Dal , later Haryana Lok Dal / Indian National Lok Dal , INLD) - all three from the influential ethnic group Jats .

In the parliamentary elections in Haryana in 1996, the HVP allied itself with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and became the strongest party in Haryana parliament with 33 out of 90 constituencies. Bansi Lal was elected Chief Minister in a coalition government of the HVP and BJP. Also in the all-Indian parliamentary elections in 1996 and 1998 , the HVP made electoral agreements with the BJP in Haryana and won 3 or one of the 10 constituencies of Haryana. After rumors circulated that the HVP was about to join the Congress Party, the coalition of BJP and HVP broke up on June 22, 1999. This led to the formation of a coalition government made up of BJP and Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) and Om Prakash Chautala (INLD) became the new Chief Minister of Haryana.

In the Indian parliamentary elections in 1999 and 2004 , the HVP won no constituency and in the general election in Haryana in 2000 only 5.5% of the votes and 2 of 90 constituencies.

On October 14, 2004 the re-connection of the HVP to the Congress Party was announced.
