Ashok Tanwar on Wednesday declared support to JJP in Haryana. He said 36 castes of the state should come together to make a young and corruption-free Dushyant Chautala the next chief minister of Haryana.

“The Congress will now vie for a third or fourth slot in Haryana, will expose the corrupt and arrogant Congress leaders of the state,” said Ashok Tanwar.

In a blow to the Congress ahead of Haryana Assembly polls, its former state unit chief Ashok Tanwar had resigned from the primary membership of the party earlier this month.

Tanwar announced his resignation on Twitter and posted a four-page resignation letter addressed to Congress president Sonia Gandhi in which he said "Congress is going through existential crises, not because of its political opponents but because of serious internal contradiction.

Tanwar had also revolted against the party leadership alleging irregularities and corruption in ticket distribution for October 21 Haryana Assembly polls and had openly protested outside the Congress chief's 10 Janpath residence.
