With 41 MLAs & support from 6 Independents, BJP is already comfortable in the assembly. Utility of the 4-yr-old alliance came up for discussion at CM Khattar’s residence this week.
Chautala’s JJP has announced 6 candidates for the Rajasthan polls and plans to contest 25-30 seats in all, raising questions about the already strained BJP-JJP alliance in Haryana.
Ex-Union minister hits out at JJP leaders for corruption. Seeks to remind BJP that it came to power in Haryana 'only after I switched allegiance to party'.
How can those who don’t have votes for their own party help BJP, says Birender of ally JJP. Political analysts feel rally aimed at pressuring BJP to snap ties with Dushyant Chautala-led party.
On his party JJP being part of BJP-led NDA, Haryana Deputy CM Dushyant Chautala says 'whenever there is an alliance for elections, parties make compromises to accommodate allies'.
Launched at 'Nav Sankalp' rally in Jind Sunday, JJP's mission statement for assembly polls follows repeated hints by ally BJP that it may contest next year's Lok Sabha elections alone.
However, JJP leader also said alliance with BJP 'intact, and getting stronger'. This comes at a time of tensions between leaders of both parties, with LS & assembly polls due next year.
Speculations over future of the alliance with JJP are rife after four Independent MLAs & Haryana Lokhit Party MLA Gopal Kanda met senior BJP leader Biplab Kumar Deb.
Biplab Kumar Deb campaigned for former Union minister Birender Singh’s wife Prem Lata in Uchana earlier this week, prompting sitting MLA Dushyant to assert claim over his 'karmbhoomi'.
At Chautala's constituency Uchana Kalan, BJP Haryana in-charge Biplab Deb asks party workers to work to ensure Birender Singh’s wife wins in 2024. It is the latest in such statements by BJP leaders.
One has to be incredibly credulous to buy BJP spin masters’ argument that the government got rid of Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar for harmonious relationship with the judiciary.
Modi government had also made numerous efforts to establish peace with Pakistan but has now adopted a different path, militarily, to establish peace, adds defence minister.
As Narendra Modi becomes India’s second-longest consecutively serving Prime Minister, we look at how he compares with Indira Gandhi across four key dimensions.
