The latest chapter of the Haryana crisis that sparked off in March began on Tuesday after three independent lawmakers — Randhir Golan from Pundri, Dharmpal Gonder from Nilokheri and Sombir Singh Sangwan from Dadri — said they had decided to back Bhupinder Singh Hooda of the Congress and wrote to the governor withdrawing their support from the Saini government. JJP, which does not extend its support to the present government and is open to backing any other political party for government formation, it is evidence that the incumbent government no longer commands a majority in the legislative assembly,” Chautala said in his letter to the governor.
