Amid the reports of the strife between ruling BJP-Jannayak Janata Party(JJP) alliance in Haryana, 4 independent MLAs meet BJP state in-charge Biplab Kumar Deb expressing confidence in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership.

Deb said, Haryana MLAs Dharam Pal Gonder, Rakesh Daulatabad, Randhir Singh and Somveer Sangwan met him on Thursday and expressed confidence in PM Modi’s leadership.

Deb said, the party believes in PM Modi’s slogan Sabka Saath and Sabka Vikas and is leaving no stone unturned for the growth and development of Haryana. The BJP had taken the support of JJP to form the government in Haryana in 2019, since it failed to get a majority in the state election.

JJP leader Dushyant Chautala has been holding the Deputy Chief Minister’s post since 2019, after the government formation with Manohar Lal Khattar as the Chief Minister. There has been tension arising between the two parties as leaders of the two parties had a war of words with each other. Deb even said the JJP did no favor to the BJP by supporting it, as JJP is also part of the government in Haryana.

There have been reports of recent disagreement between the two parties on contesting the upcoming elections in 2024 together. Chautala when asked whether the two parties will contest together in 2024, he diplomatically replied, he is not an astrologer and cannot predict what the future has in store for the parties. He told the media that both parties will contest for 90 seats on their own in the 2024 elections.  

The news on Twitter started spreading like wildfire as diverse comments on the tweet started appearing, where one user said BJP should take support of these four candidates as the alliance government has done a lot of corruption in the state.

Another user hailed the BJP alliance government and said, Har Har Modi Ghar Ghar Modi. Another user said that this is all hypocrisy of the BJP in Haryana.
