'NO DOUBT' ABOUT ALLIANCE SAYS DUSHYANT AS JJP ATTENDS NDA MEETING

Ahead of the forthcoming Parliamentary and Assembly polls in Haryana, the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) as well as Opposition parties—including the Congress—are making preparations to strengthen their respective political positions and prove their mettle in the state. Additionally, discussions pertaining to the future of the ruling BJP and its ally the Jannayak Janta Party (JJP) continue to be speculated in Haryana’s political circle.

While the JJP has been in favour of continuing the alliance, several BJP bigwigs in the state are opposed to continuing the alliance, stating that keeping the alliance alive is likely to cause harm to the BJP in the forthcoming elections. However, the JJP is one of the 38 political parties to have accepted the BJP high command’s invitation to a National Democratic Alliance (NDA) meeting in New Delhi on Tuesday. The invitation is thought to have come as a great relief to the party.
