Amidst strain in the BJP-JJP alliance, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar and Cabinet Step Down

In the wake of growing divisions within the alliance government that the JJP and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) created, Manohar Lal Khattar has resigned as the chief minister of Haryana

Following growing divisions within the coalition administration formed by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Jannayak Janata Party (JJP), Manohar Lal Khattar has resigned as the Chief Minister of Haryana. Political unrest has resulted from the alliance’s fractures in the state, particularly in light of the impending Lok Sabha elections.

The Rift’s Origin
The main source of contention between the BJP and the JJP, which is led by Deputy Chief Minister Dushyant Chautala, was their failure to come to an agreement on a formula for seat-sharing in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. The coalition, which had previously seen the BJP win all 10 Lok Sabha seats in Haryana in the 2019 elections, is now in jeopardy due to this disagreement.

Advancements and Conversations
BJP’s Claim to Stability:

 In spite of the resignation, the BJP maintains that it has enough support—41 MLAs plus the support of five independents—to form the government, crossing the halfway point in the Haryana assembly.
Possible Leadership Change:

According to insider sources, state BJP chairman Naib Singh Saini may take over as leader of the party from Khattar.
Strategic Meetings:

 To discuss the next steps, BJP cabinet ministers, MLAs, and central BJP officials convened strategic meetings following the resignation.

Independent MLAs’ Support:

 Pointing out the chance of the BJP-led administration’s survival, independent MLAs such as Dharampal Gonder and Nayan Pal Rawat have expressed their support for the government.

Future of the Alliance:

 The BJP and JJP leaders have called separate meetings, raising the possibility of a reorganization or change in the governance model. As a result, the alliance’s future is uncertain.
The Path Ahead
There will be big changes in Haryana’s political scene since the BJP and JJP are at a crossroads. Leaders of the Central BJP are aggressively managing the issue, although details of the upcoming political realignment are still being withheld. Political analysts and the general public are keenly awaiting the resolution of this conflict and its consequences for the electoral chances of the major parties as the state prepares for the Lok Sabha elections.
