The Congress candidate’s strategy to woo Rajputs is considered a well-thought-out political strategy. The Rajputs are sulking after two sitting MPs of their community -Sunil Singh (Chatra) and PN Singh (Dhanbad)—were denied tickets this time. They were replaced by members of other castes.

Yashaswini said in her address that the Kshatriya community has a glorious history. “Kshatriya great men like Prithviraj Chauhan, Maharana Pratap, and Babu Veer Kunwar Singh have played an important role in the country’s independence. Kshatriyas did not kneel before the Mughals and the British. The Kshatriya community never compromised its self-respect. The contribution of Kshatriyas in the country’s freedom struggle cannot be forgotten,” she said.
