JJP and BSP join hands for assembly election

The Hindu  

The Jannayak Janta Party and the Bahujan Samaj Party have formed an alliance for the upcoming Assembly election in Haryana due later this year. The JJP, which was formed after a split in Indian National Lok Dal in December last year, will contest the 50 seats in the 90-member state Assembly leaving the remaining 40 for the BSP. Asserting that the decision will change the “political situation in the state”, JJP leader and former Hisar MP Dushyant Chautala said that in view of the prevailing situation in Haryana and the attempts to damage the social fabric, the two parties had decided to come together to fight against this and take Haryana forward on the path to development. “Like in the past, when then BSP chief Kansi Ram and Chaudhary Devi Lal together fought to bring about a change in the state, BSP supremo Mayawati and Chaudhary Ajay Chautala have decided come along and take the battle forward,” said Mr. Dushyant Chautala, addressing a press conference. JJP and BSP had contested the Lok Sabha election earlier this year separately in alliance with the Aam Aadmi Party and the Loktantra Suraksha Party respectively, but both parties had ended the ties with their respective alliance partners after the election on account of dismal performance.
