Political Journey
In the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, Budhiraja lost to Khattar by a margin of 2.19 lakh votes. He, however, made a strong impression by securing over 4.8 lakh votes.
Budhiraja first came into the public eye in January 2018, when he and half-a-dozen students raised slogans against then CM Khattar during his visit to a college in Panchkula. Following a brief confrontation, Budhiraja and his associate Hardik Nain were arrested.
Born into a Punjabi Partition family, Budhiraja pursued Engineering at Panjab University, Chandigarh, where he joined the National Students Union of India (NSUI). He became the president of the university’s student wing in 2014, and later, in 2017, was elected President of Haryana’s NSUI unit.
In December 2021, Budhiraja won the Haryana Youth Congress presidential election, defeating Krishan Satrod by a margin of nearly two lakh votes—one of the highest margins recorded in Youth Congress history.
