Dushyant Chautala, the former friend turned foe of the BJP, is being warned by officials to look out for his party members, and to strengthen his position against the Nayab Singh Saini government. According to the sources, there are reports that a group of MLAs belonging to the Jannayak Janta Party (JJP) had sat with the former BJP CM, Manohar Lal Khattar, some days ago.
The meeting, conducted in the residence of the Minister of State, Mr. Mahipal Dhanda, in the City of Panipat, lasted about half an hour. (The meeting, held in the residence of Minister of State, Mr. Mahipal Dhanda, in Panipat, facilitated by the local government, lasted approximately half an hour(around one hour). The focus of the meeting was the political developments in a country that is in a post-crisis period.
Through this, however, Dhanda chose not to say anything. Deepam Kamal Saharan, the Chief Media Coordinator of JJP, insisted on the principle of party discipline, which is not only binding but also largely capable of expulsion. The BJP-led Govt. in Haryana had to face a challenge when the three Independent members who were supposed to be supporting the ruling party withdrew their support.
In this regard, Chautala claimed that now if the BJPs’ council went for a smaller amount, there is no other way except to support the Congress for forming a government. Chautala also voiced his opinion and favored a floor test. Even though the assembly is hardly likely to agree with just one motion of no-confidence in a single session, he met the technicality.
With no other alternatives between July and the next assembly session when the monsoon session happens, the fall of the Saini government, even though symbolic in opposition, might have symbolic value. The assembly of Haryana is now an 88-member house out of 90 that have been divided for voting. BJP has no less than 40 MLAs, Congress has around 30 MLAs, and JJP, if JJP unites, is to have an upper hand of having 43 MLAs. TLAs are still left out, one from the Haryana Lokhit Party and the other from INLD.
