“I am confident that he will take forward the development works of Haryana started under the guidance of Honorable Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi ji and the leadership of Chief Minister Shri Manohar Lal Khattar ji and will take the state forward in terms of development,” he added.
Manohar Lal Khattar“s resignation on Tuesday came following indications of an impending split within the alliance between the Jannayak Janta Party (JJP) and the BJP in the state. The ties between both parties got severed as they failed to reach consensus on the seat-sharing agreement in Haryana ahead of the Lok Sabha polls.
In the 2019 Assembly elections, the BJP secured 40 out of 90 seats falling short of a simple majority, following, a post-poll coalition was formed with the JJP, which holds 10 seats. Dushyant Chautala, the chief and co-founder of JJP, assumed the role of Deputy Chief Minister in this arrangement.
