Chandigarh: Congress leader Bhupinder Singh Hooda on Sunday said the Jannayak Janta Party (JJP) has “disrespected” the mandate given by the people of Haryana and “hurt” the public feeling by allying with the BJP and supporting it in government formation.
Taking a jibe at JJP, the former Haryana chief minister said, “People gave votes to someone, but JJP gave its support to other.”
Reacting to the post-poll BJP-JJP alliance, he said, “JJP disrespected the people’s mandate against BJP and hurt the feelings of the public.”
However, he congratulated the new government in Haryana.
“I give my best wishes to the new government. However, I want to see how much coordination takes place between JJP and BJP to run the new government,” Hooda told media on the sidelines of the oath-taking ceremony of Manohar Lal Khattar as CM and Dushyant Chautala of JJP as deputy CM at Raj Bhawan here.
He hoped the new government works for the development of Haryana.

Was the “Mandate” in favour of Congress? Congress sought the JJP and would have ruled happily if JJP had joined them in a POST POLL alliance? Then, would it have been Mandate of the people? Sheer Hypocrisy.
Here is PM Modi, Amit Shah and others until last day of campaign were slamming Corrupt Dynasties including Chautalas, after elections they have laid red carpet welcome to Corrupt dad of Dy CM who has been let out furlough from Tihar. God save democracy
Once the votes are counted, unless a single party secures a simple majority, there are no certainties.Independents are sovereign republics, easily worth a billion apiece, depending on the state and the situation. Pre poll alliances are not very different. The Shiv Sena fought the Assembly election in alliance with the BJP but is now open to exploring other options. Once a voter has done her duty, nothing remains in her hands.
