MANOHAR LAL KHATTAR RESIGNED

Haryana’s Chief Minister, Manohar Lal Khattar, along with his Cabinet ministers, submitted their resignations on Tuesday. This action followed a meeting with Governor Bandaru Dattareya, held shortly after rumors surfaced regarding a potential fracture within the Bharatiya Janata Party’s coalition with the Jannayak Janata Party (JJP) led by Dushyant Chautala. The Cabinet consisted of 14 ministers, including Manohar Lal Khattar, and three members representing the Deputy Chief Minister, Dushyant Chautala’s faction of the JJP. All members have tendered their resignations.

The recent resignations of Manohar Lal Khattar and his cabinet ministers in Haryana signal a potential rift in the BJP’s alliance with the JJP, just before the 2024 Lok Sabha election

To delve into this matter, let’s rewind to the 2019 elections. Following the 2019 Assembly elections, the BJP formed an alliance with Dushyant Chautala’s party to secure a majority, as it fell short of five seats. The BJP won 41 seats, five shy of the required majority in the 90-member Assembly, while the JJP, led by Dushyant Chautala, secured 10 seats.
