CHANDIGARH: The Jat community in Haryana has been playing a key role in the state’s politics as well as in the state's economy. The community constitutes around 27% of state’s population and has a strong presence in around 40 of 90 state assembly seats of the state.
The dominance of the Jats in state politics can be gauged from the fact that in around 55-years of its existence, the state has been ruled by Jat chief ministers for 33 years.
