Jumping between parties just before the election is an old thing for ticket seekers. It is like companies taking professional leaps for better career prospects. But what happens if you resign from a company but the new company doesn’t give you the job you were looking for?
preferred leaders Harak Singh Rawat and Imran Masood in Uttarakhand and Aparna Yadav Will know in Uttar Pradesh. They have moved to other parties but are still not sure of getting a ticket from their new party.
There is also another category of deserters – those who get a good valuation in their current job but still change their company for the same job. Like Supriya Aaron and Haider Ali Khan from the Congress, who got tickets from Bareilly and Rampur respectively, but still ally of the Samajwadi Party and NDA jumped ship for Apna Dal, believing they had a better chance of winning. The latter has become the first Muslim candidate of the NDA in UP.
Qadian MLA Fateh Singh Bajwa in Punjab jumped to BJP after Congress decided to give ticket to his brother Pratap Singh Bajwa.
Senior party leaders from the BJP and SP told News18.com that there are unique challenges for last-minute change. For example, in Saharanpur, the seat from where Congress’s main face Imran Masood wanted a ticket was not available from the SP-RLD camp.
Masood contests from Nakur seat of Saharanpur, but SP already had a candidate of Dharam Singh Saini in that seat, to which Masood lost in the previous election. Saini, who then won from the BJP and was a minister, is now with the SP and was given preference over Masood. So even in the desert, the new ’employer’ may be left spoiled for choice.
There is news in the BJP camp that Aparna Yadav, the daughter-in-law of the Yadav family, may not get a ticket, but after the election, she can be made the candidate of MLC. The sitting BJP MLA from Lucknow Cantonment seat, from where Yadav had last contested on an SP ticket, has announced that he will get that ticket again and Aparna Yadav will not contest.

After joining the Congress after a tense ‘information period’ a week after the BJP sacked her and the Congress did not officially welcome her, Rawat has now tied up with the ticket for his daughter-in-law Anukreethy from Landsdowne. which was announced by Congress on Monday
So what if Aparna Yadav, Imran Masood and Harak Singh Rawat did not get tickets even after the switch-over? Will he bring it out in the open and remain loyal to his new party for a long time? Or would such loyalty be a better quality for the likes of Supriya Aaron and Haider Ali Khan if the ticket wins after being spoiled for election? We will know only after the election season is over.
