Sirsa, August 5

Former Deputy Chief Minister and JJP leader Dushyant Singh Chautala acknowledged that partnering with the BJP to fulfill electoral promises for the benefit of all sections of society was a significant political error.

Despite limited influence, JJP managed to fulfil many of its promises. Dushyant was addressing students on the 22nd foundation day of the Indian National Students’ Organisation (INSO) at Chaudhary Devi Lal University in Sirsa.

Dushyant said Sir Chhotu Ram, who was known as a great supporter of farmers, used to say that participating in politics was essential for the welfare of the poor, women and farmers. That’s why he also joined the Congress.

Chautala said if JJP came to power, Agniveers would get free education up to PhD level so that they could serve the country as educated officers. He also vowed to fight for the direct student union elections in the Haryana Assembly.

He also promised college and university students that they would receive bus passes, and transportation within a 30-km radius of educational institutions would be managed by the government using roadways buses and special vehicles.
