Ruling out any alliance with the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Haryana before or after the next State Assembly elections,  Jannayak Janta Party (JJP) leader Dushyant Chautala on Thursday said that his party is ready to support the Congress in the Rajya Sabha election. 

He alleged that Congress is running away from the field because former Chief Minister and Leader of Opposition Bhupendra Hooda's statement that he does not have the numbers shows match fixing with BJP. “If Congress really wants to compete with BJP, then it should field a joint opposition Rajya Sabha candidate, we are ready to support them. The opposition should unite to get a social personality, a player or an artist to lead Haryana in the Rajya Sabha.”

The JJP’s four-and-a-half-year alliance with the BJP came to an end after the saffron party replaced Manohar Lal Khattar with Nayab Singh Saini as Chief Minister in March. In the recently held General Election, JJP fielded candidates in all 10 Lok Sabha seats in Haryana but drew a blank.

Chautala, the son of JJP chief Ajay Singh Chautala, said the party will in the next few weeks seek feedback from its workers and based on that would decide on entering into an alliance with any party other than the BJP for the Assembly polls slated to be held in the next few months.

About the Assembly polls in the state, Chautala said the JJP will hold meetings with party workers from July 5 to seek feedback and to rebuild the organisation. “The focus is to make our organisation ready for the assembly poll,” he said.
