Cong Slams Dushyant Chautala For Tie-Up With BJP

With the BJP and the Jannayak Janata Party (JJP) declaring that they will form a coalition government in Haryana, the Congress on Friday said it was now out in the open that the Dushyant Chautala-led JJP was and will remain the “B-team” of the BJP.

The opposition party’s sharp attack came soon after it became clear that the BJP was set to form the new government in Haryana after clinching an alliance with the JJP, which has won 10 seats in the 90-member assembly, by giving it the post of deputy chief minister.

BJP president Amit Shah announced at a press conference, held with JJP leader Chautala, that the chief minister will be from his party and the deputy chief minister from the regional party.

Hitting out at the alliance, Congress chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said it was now out in the open that the “JJP-Lok Dal (INLD) were, and will always be, the BJP’s B-team”.
