3 former JJP MLAs including Dushyant Chautala’s close aide, Manu Sharma’s mother join BJP in Haryana

“it is my good luck that I am standing here today. It is 200 per cent sure that Nayab Singh Saini shall become the chief minister of Haryana because a competent leader is one who takes everybody along and treats everybody equally. Before Manohar Lal Khattar started his tenure in Haryana, I had seen several other governments. During those regimes, a culture of parchi-kharchi (recommendations) prevailed. Manohar Lal Khattar ended it completely,” Gautam said at the rally.

Addressing the gathering, Gautam further said, “Khattar ji regularised several unauthorised colonies. People were facing lots of difficulties without such regularisation. There are several things that Khattar ji did.”

He also praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the construction of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, and the abrogation of Article 370, among others.

“I told Nayab Singh Saini that my son is a very competent lawyer. He hates politics but he told me that he would also like to join the BJP. Thus, I would request the chief minister to take him into the BJP fold,” Gautam said, followed by Saini inducting Gautam’s son into the BJP.

Shakti Rani Sharma, too, praised PM Modi and said, “I am quite impressed with the BJP’s ideology and the steps the prime minister took for the upliftment of women.”

Former Rohtak MP Arvind Sharma, who lost to Congress’s Deepender Hooda in the recently concluded Lok Sabha polls, said, “You all need to realise why you removed them [Congress]. Have those people changed? You need to compare the unprecedented development and public welfare steps taken during the BJP’s 10-year rule… lakhs of people got jobs during Manohar Lal Khattar and Nayab Singh Saini’s tenure. The Congress is only spreading lies. During the Lok Sabha polls, too, they spread lies about the Constitution… and got stuck at 99. But the Congress’s lies now stand exposed. I can assure you all that with your blessings, Nayab Singh Saini shall become Haryana’s chief minister for the second time and the BJP will form the government for the third time.”

“You have only seen the trailer of Nayab Singh Saini, the movie is pending. When we form the government for the third time, you will get to see the full movie. Lots of rumours will be spread. For instance, rumours were spread on social media that Amit Shah had to cancel his visit here today. I would like to urge you all to stay cautious and beware of the Congress’s lies. This time only the BJP’s truth will prevail. Nayab Singh Saini’s devotion and dedication will reap fruits this time,” said BJP state chief Mohan Lal Badoli.

In 2019, then-JJP candidates – Ramkumar Gautam defeated BJP’s then-cabinet minister Capt Abhimanyu, Jogi Ram Sihag defeated BJP’s Surender Punia, and Anoop Dhanak defeated BJP’s Asha Khedar in Uklana. With the three former JJP leaders joining the BJP, the contest for party tickets in the forthcoming Assembly elections is set to heat up.

Polls for the 90-member Haryana Assembly will be held in a single phase on October 5 and the votes will be counted on October 8.
