Bhupinder Singh Hooda says BJP-JJP govt is based on ‘selfishness’

Former Haryana chief minister and Congress leader Bhupinder Singh Hooda slammed the BJP-JJP alliance in the state soon after Manohar Lal Khattar took oath of office as the chief minister for the second consecutive term.

He said, “This alliance has been forged in manner of ‘vote kisi ki, support kisi ko’. This government is based on selfishness. JJP disrespected people’s mandate. We had less time after changes in our organisation. Had the changes been made earlier, results would’ve been different.”

RECAP: BJP falls short on ‘75-seat’ mission, relies on ‘kingmaker’ Dushyant Chautala

Haryana on Thursday ended up with a hung Assembly with the ruling BJP emerging as the largest party with 40 seats, but still six short of the halfway mark needed to form the next government. The Congress won 31 seats, the Jannayak Janta Party 10, the Indian National Lok Dal and Haryana Lokhit Party one each. The Aam Aadmi Party, which contested 46 seats, was decimated.

The split verdict triggered hectic political activity. The BJP’s final tally came as a disappointment for a party that had won all 10 parliamentary seats in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, and predicted that it will cross 75 seats this time in the Assembly. But eight of 10 ministers fielded by the BJP lost.

Deepender Hooda says BJP-JJP alliance ‘won’t last long’

Slamming the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Jannayak Janata Party (JJP) alliance in Haryana, Congress leader Deepender Singh Hooda on Saturday said that it is “obvious” that the alliance government “will not last long”.

Taking to Twitter, Deepender, who is the son of former chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda, said that the alliance is full of contradictions and that people will remember those who have betrayed them.

“A government full of contradictions is coming to power in Haryana, obviously such a government will not last long. Those who betray the public and think that people will forget everything by the next election should know that the people will balance the account with those who have betrayed them,” Deepender tweeted in Hindi.

This comes as the BJP forged a post-poll alliance with the JJP to form government in Haryana after a hung verdict in the recently concluded assembly elections in the state.

हरियाणा में अंतर्विरोधों से भरी सरकार बनने जा रही है, ज़ाहिर है ऐसी सरकार लंबी नहीं चल पाएगी।
जो लोग जनता व जनभावना से विश्वासघात करके ये सोचते हैं कि जनता अगले चुनाव तक सब भूल जाएगी, वो ये बात समझ लें जनता अपने से किए गये विश्वासघात का हिसाब समय पर पूरा करेगी।

The BJP staked claim to form the government in Haryana after clinching a post-poll alliance with the JJP, which won 10 seats in the 90-member Assembly in the 21 October polls by giving it the post of deputy chief minister on Friday. The Congress, which won 31 seats is the state, appeared to be satisfied with its performance. Former Haryana chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda on Saturday told ANI that Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi was happy with the party’s performance. Uneasy allies continue to butt heads In Maharashtra, the tussle between the alliance partners BJP and the Shiv Sena continued, with the regional party seeking a written assurance from the BJP for implementing “equal formula for sharing of power"as pre-condition to staking claim to form government in the state. Talking to reporters after a meeting of newly-elected MLAs at Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray’s residence in Mumbai, party MLA Pratap Sarnaik said Thackeray wanted a written assurance from the BJP. “The Shiv Sena contested fewer number of seats in the Lok Sabha and Assembly polls. Uddhav Thackeray has said the BJP should give a written assurance about implementing the power-sharing formula arrived at in the presence of Amit Shah and Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis at my residence about equal sharing of seats and power,” he told PTI. He also said that MLAs demanded that Aaditya Thackeray, who was elected to the Worli constituency in Mumbai, be made chief minister in the next government. Contesting the Congress’ suggestion of exploring all options to keep the BJP out of power, he said the Sena chief was “not interested”. “The Sena chief told us that he had other options open (apparently to form government) but he was not interested. He told us that the BJP and the Sena are bound together by Hindutva,” said Sarnaik. He added that the leader of the Sena legislature party will be selected after new MLAs take the oath of office. Meanwhile, Union minister and senior BJP leader Raosaheb Danve told reporters his party was not aware of any equal power sharing deal being proposed by the Shiv Sena. “After Diwali, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis will discuss the issue of formation of government with Uddhavji,” he said. In the recently concluded Maharashtra Assembly elections, the BJP won just 105 seats while its ally, the Sena, bagged 56 seats. The NCP and the Congress bagged 54 and 44 seats respectively in the 288-member House.
