Dushyant Chautala’s JJP seeks floor test in Haryana as BJP loses majority

After three Independent MLAs withdrew support to the Bharatiya Janata Party government in Haryana earlier this week, the Jannayak Janta Party and the Indian National Lok Dal on Thursday wrote to the Governor seeking directions for an immediate floor test to determine the majority of the government or the imposition of President’s rule in the State.

Jannayak Janta Party leader and former Deputy Chief Minister Dushyant Chautala, whose party had remained absent during the voting on a confidence motion for the BJP government in March, said in his letter to the Governor that his party did not support the BJP government and was open to backing any political party in the State for government formation.
