Dissenting voices in Dushyant Chautala-led Jannayak Janta Party - BJP’s alliance in Haryana, have become shriller after party’s MLA from Tohana Assembly Devender Singh Babli expressed resentment over political boycott of MLAs. Urging the government to resolve the matter as soon as possible, Babli stated that the farmers’ issue is not in the interest of the country or state. His remarks came even as farmers have planned to hold protests outside the residences of BJP-JJP and independent MLAs in Haryana, asking them to support the no-confidence motion moved by Congress or face a social and political boycott. The incumbent Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, who also holds the finance portfolio will present the state’s budget on March 12.
