Hisar : Addressing Nav-sankalp Rally in Hisar on the birthday of Dr Ajay Singh Chautala National President of Jannayak Janta Party (JJP), a day after the coalition in alliance with the ruling BJP in the state ended, the JJP leader a former deputy Chief Minister in Haryana state Dushyant Chautala said that the party was preparing to contest 2024 LS elections on two seats, accusing  the Bharatiya Janata Party of neglecting the alliance Jannayak Janata Party the step to break alliance was taken, the former Haryana Deputy Chief Minister Dushyant Chautala said in a public rally at Hisar on Wednesday. Chautala said that JJP was a part of the government in the state for four and a half years and took sincere interest in the development of Haryana. In five years, just one meeting of the NDA was held in which he along with Ajay Singh Chautala participated, however, what decision did the BJP make in the end? He said that JJP was prepared to contest the 2024 Lok Sabha elections on just two seats. “We followed the ethics of our alliance and started preparing to contest on two seats,” Dushyant Chautala lamented.

Chautala said, in a high-voltage drama on March 12, Manohar Lal Khattar, the chief minister of Haryana tendered his resignation amid speculations of escalating tensions with the alliance partner JJP in the state government ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, Khattar was replaced by the party’s recently appointed state unit head Nayab Singh Saini as the new chief minister of Haryana in high profile dramatic manner with sudden break in the relationship between the BJP and the JJP, led by their inability to finalise a seat-sharing arrangement in the state for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.

The past scenario reveals that BJP had secured victory in all 10 Lok Sabha constituencies in Haryana during the 2019 elections, as such the BJP was uncomfortable with sharing two seats with the JJP in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. In 2019 assembly elections, the BJP had fallen short of the majority and formed a coalition government with the JJP. The BJP retained four of its 13 ministers in the new Council of Ministers, whereas no representation was given to the alliance JJP, Chautala said that following the political development the JJP called a meeting in Delhi of its leaders, but at least five of its legislators skipped the meeting for the reason best known to them..
