Amidst political turmoil, CM Manohar Lal Khattar and his entire cabinet resigned in Haryana. A swearing-in ceremony is set for 1 p.m., with Khattar submitting his resignation to Governor Bandaru Dattatreya. Speculation arises regarding a new CM, possibly contesting Lok Sabha elections from Karnal.
The BJP-JJP alliance in Haryana faces turbulence over Lok Sabha seats. JJP’s demand for 1 to 2 seats was rejected by the central leadership. BJP leans towards contesting all 10 seats independently, leading to a rift. Formal announcements are awaited.
JJP’s Dushyant Chautala met BJP’s JP Nadda on Monday, followed by emergency meetings convened by CM Khattar in Chandigarh, involving ministers, legislators, and supporting independent MLAs.
Haryana has 90 Assembly seats, with BJP holding 41, Congress 30, JJP 10, and others. A majority requires 46 seats. Even if the BJP-JJP alliance breaks, BJP holds 41 seats, with support from independents and one HLP MLA, ensuring a comfortable margin of 3 seats above the majority mark.
