BJP-JJP alliance is a must for Haryana to have stable govt, says Dushyant Chautala
The Hindu
Addressing a rally in Jind last month, Birender Singh, a former Union minister, had also said that if the BJP thinks the JJP can fetch the alliance votes in next year’s elections, then they are mistaken.
Haryana Deputy Chief Minister Dushyant Chautala on November 6 said the alliance between his Jannayak Janta Party (JJP) and the BJP is a must for Haryana to have a stable government.
His comments came almost a month after BJP leader Birender Singh threatened to quit the party if it did not sever ties with the JJP, which he had accused of indulging in rampant corruption in the State.
“I am not hearing such things for the first time,” Mr. Chautala replied when reporters asked him to comment on the BJP leader’s threat.
“I don’t think anyone saying so will have an impact on the government working. If Haryana has to be given a stable government, then this alliance is a must. If weaker sections are to be empowered, then a stable government is needed,” Mr. Chautala told reporters after a party rally at Shahabad.

The Ajay Singh Chautala-led party had extended support to the BJP in 2019 after the saffron outfit fell short of a majority in the Assembly polls. However, in recent weeks, both the JJP and BJP have said they are preparing to contest in all the 10 Lok Sabha and 90 Assembly seats and remained non-committal on continuing the ties.
