After they broke the alliance, Manohar Lal Khattar resigned as the Chief Minister and later, Nayab Singh Saini was sworn in as the new Chief Minister on the same day.
Few days back, Jannayak Janta Party (JJP) had allied with Azad Samaj Party (Kanshi Ram).
The alliance will contest on all 90 Assembly constituencies in Haryana with JJP competing on 70 seats while ASP on 20.
"Out of 90 seats, JJP to contest on 70 seats and Azad Samaj party on 20 seats," said JJP leader Dushyant Chautala.
This year, two other parties also made an alliance. The Indian National Lok Dal ( INLD ), which is led by former Haryana chief minister Om Prakash Chautala, again joined hands with its former ally BSP for the state assembly polls in July.
The alliance leaders have decided to project INLD leader and MLA Abhay Chautala as its chief ministerial face.
Candidates
Till now, only BSP has announced its candidates list for the upcoming Haryana assembly election. BSP announced four candidates in its first list for the polls. The list was released to the media by Haryana BSP president Dharampal Tigra.
According to the list, Darshan Lal Kheda has been fielded from Jagadhri, Gopal Singh Rana from Assandh, Harbilas Singh from Naraingarh, and Thakur Uttar Lal from the Ateli seat.
