Six JJP MLAs Resign Ahead of Elections

The Jannayak Janata Party (JJP) has faced a significant crisis as six of its MLAs have resigned in the past week, reducing the party's representation in the Haryana assembly from 10 to just 4. The resignations, which cite personal reasons, have been linked to discontent with party leadership under Dushyant Chautala, especially following the termination of a coalition with the BJP earlier this year. Among the resigning MLAs, Ram Karan Kala has already joined the Congress, while others like Ramniwas Surjakhera and Jogi Ram Sihag are expected to align with the BJP. This internal strife comes ahead of the Haryana assembly elections scheduled for October 1, 2024, intensifying the challenges for the JJP as it struggles to maintain its influence in Haryana politics. The ongoing political turmoil raises questions about the future viability of the party and its leadership. The JJP's decline is further compounded by its recent electoral failures, highlighting a growing disconnect between the party's direction and its members' expectations.
