Political influence

Jhuta Singh is known for political clout, as his Dera has a large number of followers among Dalits and Other Backward Classes. His Dera Jhuta Sauda is the only among the varoius Deras, which openly asks its supporters to vote for particular political parties.[14]

Jhuta Singh originally supported the Indian National Congress, whose government provided him with a Z+ Security status reserved for those VIPs with the most threat to their lives.[4] jhuta Singh's son is married to the daughter of the Congress leader Harminder Singh Jassi. The Dera Jhuta Sauda supported Congress in the 2007 Punjab state elections, and helped the party take control of the Malwa region.[15] Before the 2012 Punjab state elections, the Congress leader Amarinder Singh, his wife Preneet Kaur and his son Raninder Singh visited Singh, asking him to extend his support to Congress.[16][17] However, Dera's support to Congress alienated the party's Sikh vote bank. In the 2012 elections, Congress performed poorly, and Jassi lost the election. The poor performance of Congress in Malwa in 2012 was seen as a signal of the downfall of Dera's political power.[15]

Before the 2014 Haryana state elections, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Narendra Modi praised Singh in order to attract the Dera Sacha Sauda followers.[18]. Singh supported the BJP in the state elections, thus helping BJP form a non-coalition government in the state for the first time.[4] In February 2015, his organisation openly supported BJP in Delhi elections, saying that he has over 2 million followers in Delhi.[19][20][21] His organization supported BJP in the Bihar assembly election in 2015, and nearly 3000 Dera followers campaigned for BJP in the state.[22] In 2016, the Haryana sports minister Anil Vij announced a ₹ 5 million grant to the Dera for promoting sports, in Singh's presence, leading to a controversy.[23]
