Hisar MP Dushyant Chautala has said the Jannayak Janta Party (JJP) will never forge an alliance with the Congress, as his great grandfather Chaudhary Devi Lal had always fought against it.
“Our fight has been against Congress’ policies, our ideology also does not go with them,” he told the media here on Wednesday.
On an alliance with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), he said a three-member committee of the party had submitted its report to his father (Ajay Singh Chautala). “My father will take a final call on the matter. The party will declare candidates in three days. The JJP can have a multi-party alliance with like-minded outfits,” the MP said.
He criticised the BJP over seeking votes in the name of soldiers killed in terrorist attacks. “In 14 days, 53 jawans of the Army and paramilitary forces died, but the BJP has been exploiting their sacrifice politically.”
He denied former Karnal MP Arvind Sharma, who recently joined the BJP, was in touch with him.
On BJP’s “sankalp patra”, he said that as unemployment had risen, the party didn’t mention anything about jobs in 75 promises it had made in the manifesto.
AAP-JJP alliance likely
Rohtak: The AAP and JJP are set to join hands and announce the tie-up during the Navratras. Sources said talks were in the final stages and a formal announcement was expected in a day or two. No leader of either party came on record regarding the matter.
