The Jannayak Janta Party (JJP) is gearing up to contest the Rajasthan Assembly poll and eyeing seats that the BJP, its coalition partner in the Haryana government, failed to win in past elections in the desert State. The strategy is expected to keep the door open for the two parties to form another alliance.
The JJP will launch its poll campaign with a rally at Sikar on September 25, which coincides with the birth anniversary of late Deputy Prime Minister Chaudhary Devi Lal.
There has been no formal discussion on an alliance so far, but Haryana Deputy Chief Minister and JJP leader Dushyant Chautala had informed the BJP’s central leadership about the party’s plans to contest the Rajasthan poll before putting in place its organisational set-up in the State, JJP spokesperson Deep Kamal Saharan told The Hindu.
