BJP-JJP alliance broke, what is BJP’s strategy?
There are also reports of breaking of the alliance between JJP and BJP. According to sources- BJP did not want to dismiss Dushyant Chautala. This would send a wrong political message, hence the entire cabinet resigned. The cabinet will be formed once again. One or two old ministers may be on leave. Assembly elections in the state will be held on time, there is no question of holding them along with the Lok Sabha. The picture is not clear yet regarding Deputy Chief Ministers, it is possible that two Deputy CMs may be made to solve caste equations.
Many MLAs of Chautala’s party have been in touch with BJP for a long time, hence their support can be taken. By breaking ties with Chautala, BJP wants to give a clear message that it will do non-Jat politics in Haryana. In the state, non-Jats are in the ratio of 80 percent and Jats are 20 percent. Due to Dushyant contesting separate elections, there is a dent in the Jat votes and due to this, the Jats will not get the help of the one-sided Congress led by Bhupendra Hooda. Due to this, BJP may benefit on some seats. The joining of Chaudhary Birendra Singh’s son and BJP MP from Hisar Brijendra Chaudhary to Congress is also being linked to BJP’s non-Jat politics. Dushyant was demanding two Lok Sabha seats but Haryana BJP was in favor of contesting all the ten seats alone.
