Tanwar to campaign for JJP in Haryana

Former Haryana Congress president Ashok Tanwar on Wednesday announced that he will campaign for the Jannayak Janta Party for the Haryana Assembly election slated to be held on October 21 and made an appeal to all the communities in the State to make Dushyant Chautala the Chief Minister.

Unceremoniously removed as the party’s State president and replaced with Kumari Selja this past month, Mr. Tanwar claimed that he had offers from all political parties in Haryana, including the Bharatiya Janata Party, but decided to support Mr. Chautala after he called him over the phone.

“Had we not supported anyone in the election, all our hardwork over the last five years would have gone in vain. People from all parties, including the BJP, met me. We decided to support those who sought our help in the open,” said Mr. Tanwar, who had resigned from the primary membership of Congress earlier this month, accusing the State leadership of selling tickets.
