"People will come and go": JJP's Dushyant Chautala on Nishan Singh's resignation

Jannayak Janta Party (JJP) chief and former deputy chief minister of Haryana Dushyant Chautala has said that the recent exit of the Nishan Singh, the party's Haryana unit chief, was all part and parcel of the election season

"Last night, I received a digital copy of Nishan Singh's resignation. The decision lies with the national president since the letter was addressed to him. I wish him luck for the future. Three months ago, I said this in the state assembly that the election season is approaching, and many people will come and go..."

Nishan Singh, the Haryana president of Jannayak Janata Party (JJP) who resigned from the party membership on April 8 had however not disclosed his future plans.


Singh's decision comes as a setback for the party struggling to recover after the ruling BJP cut ties with it in the state.

Singh was earlier associated with the Indian National Lok Dal and had won the assembly election from Tohana as a party candidate. After the vertical split in the INLD, he became part of the JJP, which came into existence in December 2018.

The Lok Sabha elections for the 10 parliamentary constituencies of Haryana are going to be held in a single phase on May 25.

In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections in the state, the BJP emerged as the single largest party, capturing all 10 seats.

In the 2014 elections, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won 7 seats, the Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) won 2 seats and the Indian National Congress (INC) secured only one seat.
