JJP, Azad Samaj Party announce alliance for Haryana polls
New Delhi, Aug 27: Dushyant Chautala's Jannayak Janta Party (JJP) and Chandra Shekhar Azad-led Azad Samaj Party (Kanshi Ram) on Tuesday announced their alliance for the upcoming Haryana assembly polls.
While the JJP will contest 70 of the 90 seats, the Azad Samaj Party will contest 20 seats, the two leaders said at a press conference here.
Chautala said the alliance will focus on issues of farmers and labourers and will work towards strengthening Haryana.
"We will win all 90 seats," Chautala said.
JJP was in an alliance with the BJP in Haryana for over four years from October 2019 till March 2024, when the BJP snapped ties with the party.
In a post on X, Chautala said, "The coming together of farmers and labourers will prove to be a strong step towards building a better future for Haryana".
Speaking in the same vein, Chandra Shekhar asserted that they want to raise the issues of farmers, labourers, women and youth.
"In the days to come, more people will join us to take up the cause of farmers and labourers in Harayana," the Nagina MP said.
The Jannayak Janta Party came into existence after a split in the parent outfit Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) in December 2018.
It had won 10 assembly seats in the last Haryana assembly polls. However, around six of the MLAs have quit the party in recent days.
The 90-member Haryana assembly will go to polls in a single phase on October 1. The notification for the assembly elections will be issued on September 5, 2024.

Karnataka School Edu Dept prohibits children from being made to dance to obscene songs
Bengaluru (PTI): The Karnataka School Education Department has issued a circular strictly prohibiting children from being made to dance to obscene songs in educational and cultural programmes.
It stated that such dances would negatively impact students' mental health and moral values. It will create indiscipline and harm the sanctity of education.
"All the Deputy Directors (Administration) of the state's School Education Department have been asked to take strict measures to prevent children or students from dancing to obscene songs in all government, aided and unaided schools in the state," the office of the commissioner of the School Education Department said in a recent circular.
"If it is found that children are being made to dance to obscene songs, appropriate action will be taken against the headmaster or management of such school," it added.
The department also listed certain measures in this regard, which include: strictly prohibiting children from being made to dance to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes; selecting songs that are inspiring, positive, instilling national pride in children and reflecting the greatness, dignity, values, culture, and morality of the state.
Stating that the school headmaster and management are responsible for selecting songs and dances for cultural programmes, it said, they should also ensure that students wear decent clothes in dance or cultural programmes.
