Gurgaon was abuzz with activity in anticipation of the state elections scheduled for October 5. The Gurgaon district consists of 4 assembly seats namely Gurgaon, Badshahpur, Sohna and Pataudi. Some of the electoral issues that were discussed were economic growth, healthcare, education liveability, and rural development with farmer-friendly policies. Citizen groups also fielded their concerns and expectations to the candidates. In Gurgaon, efforts are underway to boost historically low voter turnout, especially among younger voters and the urban middle class. The ‘My Vote My Voice’ campaign, led by local NGOs and the Election Commission, aimed to educate citizens on the importance of voting. Voter registration drives in schools, colleges, and corporate offices target first-time voters, while social media campaigns like #VoteForHaryana aimed to engage the youth. The BJP secured 48 out of 90 assembly seats in Haryana (including all four Gurgaon seats), while Congress won 37. This was BJP’s 3rd win in a row in Haryana.
