Lok Sabha polls: JJP forms coordination committee for discussion with NDA leadership
Chandigarh, March 3
The Jannayak Janta Party on Sunday said it had formed a coordination committee for discussions with the NDA leadership in view of the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.
Both the BJP and JJP, allies in Haryana, have in recent months said they are preparing to contest all 10 Lok Sabha seats and have remained non-committal whether they will fight these polls jointly.
When asked what has been decided about the Lok Sabha polls, Deputy Chief Minister and Jannayak Janta Party (JJP) leader Dushyant Chautala said a committee had been formed by party chief Ajay Singh Chautala for discussions with the NDA leadership.
“After discussions within a week, the committee will give its report to the PAC (JJP’s Political Affairs Committee). After this, the PAC will take a decision,” he said.
Asked for how many Lok Sabha seats there could be an arrangement between the two allies, Dushyant said a “decision will be taken once discussions are held”.
He was speaking to reporters in Karnal on the sidelines of his party’s national executive meeting.
Earlier, at a meeting of the Haryana BJP’s state election committee which was held in Delhi on Thursday in connection with the Lok Sabha polls, many leaders asserted that the party’s performance of the 2019 polls will be repeated and “lotus will bloom on all 10 seats”.
