Signs of a rift between the ruling alliance partners in Haryana, the Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) and the Jannayak Janta Party (JJP), have been cropping up from time to time. The recent dig by Deputy Chief Minister Dushyant Chautala over the handling of the situation surrounding the violence that began in the State’s Nuh district is yet another example of it.
Political observers feel that with uncertainty over the continuance of the alliance, both partners are attempting to consolidate their vote banks ahead of the parliamentary and Assembly polls due in 2024.
Mr. Chautala, while speaking with media persons on questions related to the officers in-charge at Nuh, said the organisers had failed to share a proper estimate of the turnout, linking it to the violence.
