<br />
==Political career==<br />
Dahiya represents the [[Rai (Vidhan Sabha constituency)|Rai Vidhan Sabha constituency]] in Haryana and contested his first successful election in 2009. In the 2009 Haryana Legislative Assembly election, Dahiya was given an Indian National Congress ticket and was pitted against Inderjeet, a candidate from the [[Indian National Lok Dal]].<ref name=traceall>{{Cite web |url=http://elections.traceall.in/vidhan-sabha-assembly-election-results/Rai-in-Haryana |title=Rai Vidhan sabha assembly election results in Haryana |website=elections.traceall.in |language=en |access-date=2018-02-24}}</ref> Dahiya won that election by a margin of 4,666 votes, securing a total 35,514 votes and defeating his nearest rival Inderjeet from the Indian National Lok Dal who secured 30,848 votes.<ref name=traceall/><br />
<br />
The 2014 Haryana Legislative Assembly election was a referendum of sorts as the Indian National Congress-led government was in power in the state for 10 years and anti-incumbency was a factor. There was a three-sided contest this time around with Dahiya on an Indian National Congress ticket, Inderjeet on an Indian National Lok Dal ticket, and Krishna Gahlawat on a [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] ticket. Dahiya won that election by a margin of only 3 votes, securing a total of 36,703 votes.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/congress-candidate-jai-tirath-dahiya-from-rai-segment-wins-by-margin-of-3-votes/articleshow/44876462.cms |title=Congress candidate Jai Tirath Dahiya from Rai segment wins by margin of 3 votes |date=2014-10-19 |website=[[The Economic Times]] |access-date=2018-02-24}}</ref> Dahiya's nearest rivals Inderjeet from the Indian National Lok Dal and Krishna Gahlawat on a Bharatiya Janata Party secured 36,700 and 34,523 votes, respectively.<ref name=traceall/><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/home/specials/assembly-elections-2014/haryana-news/Congress-candidate-from-Rai-segment-wins-by-margin-of-3-votes/articleshow/44876825.cms |title=Congress candidate from Rai segment wins by margin of 3 votes - Times of India |website=[[The Times of India]] |access-date=2018-02-24}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.ndtv.com/assembly/a-three-vote-margin-victory-for-congress-lawmaker-from-rai-assembly-681497 |title=A Three-Vote Margin Victory for Congress Lawmaker from Rai Assembly |website=[[NDTV]] |access-date=2018-02-24}}</ref> The victory by 3 votes was the smallest margin of victory by any candidate in the 2014 Haryana Legislative Assembly election.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.ndtv.com/assembly/this-man-got-the-thinnest-margin-this-election-three-votes-681666 |title=This Man Got the Thinnest Margin this Election - Three Votes |website=[[NDTV]] |access-date=2018-02-24}}</ref><br />
