Tehri: Ishita Sajwan elected unopposed to the post of District Panchayat President
- Ishita Sajwan created history, became the president of Zila Panchayat at a young age
- Became president with the support of both BJP and Congress
Tehri. After all its Politics…any thing can happened at any time. Today, the election of Tehri Zila Panchayat president was the most discussed. The discussion starts from there, when a girl contests the election as a Bharatiya Janata Party supported candidate from the Kot seat of Zila Panchayat. At that time, only a few people know her, but as the election campaign progresses, the name of a girl named Ishita Sajwan comes on everyone’s tongue. Here, there is no Congress candidate against her, but some independent candidates definitely contest the election. Then gradually she gets everyone’s support and when the election results come, she gets a one-sided historic victory. When she entered the field to contest the election, the discussion started from this time itself that her fight is not just to become a Zila Panchayat member. She is contesting the election to become the Zila Panchayat President.
After registering a historic victory on the member post, when the notification for the election of the District Panchayat President is issued, then the name of Ishita Sajwan comes into discussion. At that time everyone expects that Ishita Sajwan, who won with record votes, will be declared as the Bharatiya Janata Party’s candidate. But when the BJP state high command declares former president Sona Sajwan as the candidate, then everyone is shocked and the sympathy goes in favor of Ishita Sajwan. On the other hand, the Congress, which has won more members than the BJP in the district, is unable to declare its candidate for the post of president, so to put the BJP on the back foot, it supports Ishita Sajwan and gets her nominated. A new game begins on the second day of nomination.
When BJP’s official candidate Sona Sajnawan realized that she did not have the numbers and if voting took place she would lose the election, the Bharatiya Janata Party, sensing the danger, asked Sona Sajwan to withdraw from the field and in a few minutes a new game began. BJP made Ishita Sajwan its candidate, while Sona Sajwan withdrew her name in favor of Ishita Sajwan. Here the hard work of Congress went in vain. The Bharatiya Janata Party changed its candidate in a hurry to save its reputation and captured another Zilla Panchayat President seat.
Ishita Sajwan’s political innings became historic even before it began. While young Ishita Sajwan became a member of the Zilla Panchayat with record votes in her first attempt, she also became the youngest President of the Zilla Panchayat. It rarely happens that history is created in the first attempt itself. #Everyone’s cooperation and support came in handy. When Ishita Sajwan was contesting the election for the Zilla Panchayat member, she indirectly had the support of the Congress. If she had not received the support of the Congress and independents during the election of the president, the BJP would not have changed its strategy and she would not have become the president unopposed.
Her uncle Virendra Singh Sajwan alias Pappu Bhai has a big role behind this achievement of Ishita Sajwan. His role is the biggest. Industrialist Pappu Bhai is known as a friendly and simple person. He also comes forward to help the needy from time to time. Whenever anyone went to him for help, rarely returned empty handed. That is why when his daughter entered the election field, people welcomed her with open arms. The result is in front of everyone. His young daughter has become the president of the Zilla Panchayat.
Ishita Sajwan became the District Panchayat President as a BJP candidate but Congress is also happy with her victory here. Congress believes that if they had not supported Ishita Sajwan, the Bharatiya Janata Party would not have had to bow down. Now it remains to be seen in the coming days how Ishita Sajwan is able to work on the post of District Panchayat President.
