Haryana: JJP Leaders Defend BJP Alliance, Accuse Ruling Party of “Match-Fixing”

GURUGRAM, December 8, 2025 – On the eighth anniversary of the Jannayak Janta Party (JJP), former Haryana Deputy Chief Minister Dushyant Chautala defended his controversial 2019 alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Addressing a rally in Jind on Sunday, Chautala asserted that the alliance was a strategic move to prevent mass defections within his own party.

“We had no choice,” Chautala stated, referring to the BJP’s long-standing power at the Centre. He claimed that without the JJP’s support, seven out of his ten MLAs were poised to defect before the last Assembly polls, potentially dissolving the party.

The JJP’s decision to support the BJP in 2019 proved unpopular with its core voters, particularly after the party was seen as taking an “anti-farmer” stance during the widespread protests against the Central government’s now-withdrawn farm laws. The JJP failed to win any seats in the 2024 Assembly poll.

Chautala also accused the BJP of returning to power through what he termed “match-fixing.”

JJP national president Ajay Singh Chautala delivered even stronger criticism, accusing the Congress party of enabling the BJP’s rise to power in Haryana. He also denounced the current state of law and order in the state, describing it as a “jungle raj” characterized by increased crime.

Dr. Chautala also attacked the BJP government’s agricultural policies, alleging that farmers are struggling to recover the costs of cultivation and that the government has failed to provide adequate relief for flood-affected areas. He further criticized the Prime Minister’s recent visit to Haryana, stating that it yielded no development funds for the state.

The JJP’s foundation day rally highlighted the party’s ongoing struggle to regain its footing in Haryana politics amidst lingering questions surrounding its past alliance with the BJP and growing discontent over the BJP’s governance.
