On Monday, March 11 evening, Chief Minister Khattar also held an informal meeting of the Cabinet at his residence late in the evening. Many ministers including Home Minister Anil Vij, Education Minister Kanwarpal Gurjar, Agriculture Minister JP Dalal were present in it. Deputy Chairman Ranbir Gangwa was also present in this meeting.
What is the cause of differences in 'BJP-JJP' alliance?
Assembly elections were held in Haryana in October 2019. BJP won 40 out of 90 seats. Wanjich, who was short of a majority, finally formed an alliance with Dushyant Chautala's Janayak Janata Party, which had a strength of 10 MLAs. Dushyant Chautala became the Deputy Chief Minister. Chautala discussed Lok Sabha seat allocation with BJP National President JP Nadda on Tuesday, March 11. In 2019, BJP had won all 10 Lok Sabha seats in Haryana. Now BJP is preparing to fight the upcoming Lok Sabha election on its own; but JJP had demanded two seats.
