Former Prime Minister Deve Gowda and former Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar will address election rallies in Haryana in support of INlD ahead of Assembly polls. The senior Janata Dal (United) (JD-U) leader will address 10 election rallies across Haryana on October 11-12, said the party national spokesperson KC Tyagi.
Elections to the 90-member State Assembly in Haryana will be held on October 15. “Nitish Kumar along with former Prime Minister and JD(S) (Janata Dal-Secular) leader Deve Gowda will address election rallies in support of INlD candidates,” Tyagi said. Their campaign will focus on exposing the “double standards” of the Bharatiya Janata Party and its “hidden agenda”, he said. Also, JD(U) national president Sharad Yadav will campaign for INlD in Haryana polls. last month, the JD(U) and INlD had decided to go together in Haryana Assembly polls to defeat the BJP. Yadav then said that it was an effort to unite the “distintegrated Janata Dal parivar”, referring to the time they were part of one political outfit during the VP Singh Prime Ministership (1989-90).
On September 5, JD (U) leaders had attended a ‘Samman’ rally organised by INlD to mark the 100th birth anniversary of former deputy Prime Minister Chaudhary Devi lal in Jind.
