Bansilal’s ancestral property dispute, 2009
There was a dispute over the ancestral property of former Haryana Chief Minister Bansilal. Two weeks after the death of Bansi Lal’s widow Vidya Devi, who lived in the house, Bansi Lal’s elder son Ranbir Singh Mahendra forcefully entered the ancestral property and got into a fight with Kiran’s bodyguard. Later, after a case was filed against Ranbir, Kiran was provided security by the court. Vidya Devi’s funeral was performed at Ranbir’s house, but Kiran was refused to attend the funeral by Ranbir Singh Mahendra. After this Kiran went to the disputed house for 11 days. Ranbir argued that the house belonged to a trust headed by Vidya Devi and should be turned into a memorial, but a panchayat concluded that Kiran and her daughter had the right to live there.
invalid vote row
In 2022, Ajay Maken, the Congress party’s Rajya Sabha candidate from Haryana, lost the election after a vote was declared invalid by the Speaker. According to Mr. Maken, this was Kiran Chaudhary’s vote. Talking about this in an interview, Mr. Maken said,
When Kiran Chaudhary came out after casting her vote, she herself said that she had put a ‘tick mark’ in front of the candidate’s name. We had seen the ballot paper number which was marked with a tick mark and also checked its serial number, and hence, there was no doubt that the rejected vote was that of Kiran Chaudhary.
