Kiran Choudhary (born 5 June 1955) is an Indian politician,who is serving as a Member of Parliament in the Rajya Sabha under the Bharatiya Janata Party from Haryana. [2]
She is a four-time elected former Member of the Haryana Legislative Assembly from the Tosham constituency under the Indian National Congress,preceded by her late husband,Surender Singh. [3] [4] [5] Her father-in-law,Bansi Lal has served as the Chief Minister of Haryana three times. [6]
Originally a member of the Indian National Congress,she joined the Bharatiya Janata Party in June 2024. [5]
Choudhry entered Haryana electoral politics following the death of her husband and Bansi Lal's son,Surender Singh,in 2005. [7] Choudhry became known as the daughter-in-law of former Haryana CM Bansi Lal,and first got elected as an MLA from Tosham (Bhiwani) in 2005,and has been a sitting MLA from Tosham (Bhiwani) since then. [8]
In June 2024,she and her daughter,Shruti Choudhry,quit the Congress party due to differences with the party leader and ex-Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda. [6] The differences had heightened during the 2024 Lok Sabha Elections,when the Congress fielded a Hooda loyalist,Rao Dan Singh,instead of Choudhry's daughter,Shruti Choudhry,a former MP from the Bhiwani-Mahendragarh parliamentary seat. [7] Subsequently,both of them joined the BJP on June 19,2024,in the presence of former CM Manohar Lal Khattar. [5] After joining the BJP,Choudhry claimed she was inspired by Prime Minister Modi's vision to develop India by 2047. [9]
There were mixed reactions to her leaving the Congress party,wherein senior Congress MP Selja Kumari expressed regret over Choudhry's leaving and called it a loss for the party. [9] Another Congress MP attacked Choudhry,asserting it won't affect Congress as women could not be political heirs. [10] [11] According to political analysts,as Choudhry belongs to the Jat community,she may help improve BJP's standing among the community,which makes up almost a fourth of the state's population,while also expanding influence in the Bhiwani region,where late Bansi Lal enjoys respect.

Although India is a parliamentary democracy, the country's politics has become dynastic or with high level of nepotism, possibly due to the absence of party organizations, independent civil-society associations which mobilize support for a party, or centralized financing of elections. The dynastic phenomenon is present at the national, state, regional, and district level. The Nehru–Gandhi family has produced three Indian prime ministers, and family members have largely led the Congress party since 1978. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) also has several dynastic leaders. In addition to the major national parties, other national and regional parties such as Shiromani Akali Dal, Shiv Sena, Samajwadi Party, Rashtriya Janata Dal, Janata Dal Secular, Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, Kerala Congress, Jammu & Kashmir National Conference, Indian Union Muslim League, AIMIM, and the Nationalist Congress Party are all dominated by families, mostly those of the party founders.
