Delhi Confidential: Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann bats for amended Centre-state funding ratio

Even as Harayana BJP leaders as well as those involved with the state party functioning were told to tow the government position in case JJP walks out of the alliance, there seems to be some sort of rethinking in the BJP over its ties with the Dushyant Chautala-led party. Sources said the BJP was forced to reach out to independent and other MLAs following “complaints” against the JJP from the state leaders. After the earlier signals to prepare for a solo run in the state, the latest direction from a top leader is not to “worsen” the ties with its Haryana ally till a final decision is made on the partnership.
