JJP strong partner of NDA, says Dushyant Chautala

The Jannayak Janta Party is a strong partner of the NDA, Haryana Deputy Chief Minister Dushyant Chautala said on Sunday, adding that the leadership of both the BJP and his party will take a call on the Lok Sabha and the assembly elections.

"We are a strong partner of the NDA (National Democratic Alliance) and committed to provide a stable government in the state," he said when asked about the coaltion.

Under the NDA, the leadership of both the parties will sit and decide about the Lok Sabha and the assembly elections, he told reporters.

The Ajay Singh Chautala-led Jannayak Janta Party (JJP) extended support to the BJP in 2019 after the saffron outfit fell short of a majority in the assembly polls.

In recent months, however, the JJP and the BJP have both said they are preparing to contest all 10 Lok Sabha seats in the state and remained non-committal on continuing the alliance or jointly contesting the elections.

The BJP had won all 10 seats in the state in the 2019 elections.
