Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar is reportedly considering stepping down from his position amid an ongoing crisis within the BJP-JJP alliance in the state. According to sources, Manohar Lal Khattar has expressed his dissatisfaction with the functioning of the alliance and lack of cooperation from JJP.
The Alliance Struggle
The BJP-JJP alliance was formed after the 2019 Haryana Assembly elections, with the BJP emerging as the single largest party but falling short of a majority. The JJP, led by Deputy Chief Minister Dushyant Chautala, joined hands with the BJP to form the government. However, tensions between the two parties have been simmering for some time.
Manohar Lal Khattar Frustration
Sources close to Manohar Lal Khattar reveal that he has been increasingly frustrated with the JJP’s reluctance to support key policies and decisions of the state government. The lack of coordination and communication between the two parties has hindered the smooth functioning of the government.
A Possible Resignation
While no official statement has been made, speculations are rife that Khattar may tender his resignation in the coming days. If he does step down, it could lead to a political crisis in Haryana. Then BJP would need to find a new leader to lead the state government.
JJP’s Response
The JJP has downplayed the reports of Khattar’s potential resignation, stating that the alliance remains intact. However, political analysts believe that the situation is delicate, and any further strain in the alliance could have serious repercussions for the state’s governance.
Conclusion
As the political drama unfolds, all eyes are on Manohar Lal Khattar and the BJP-JJP alliance. Whether Khattar will indeed step down or find a way to resolve the crisis remains to be seen.
