Before the Haryana assembly elections, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) did not include nine sitting legislators in their initial list of candidates. Displeased with this decision, Haryana minister Ranjit Singh Chautala has stepped down from his position. By resigning, Chautala has stirred the political scene in Haryana.
Confirming his resignation, Ranjit Singh Chautala stated that he made this decision after the party denied him a ticket. Meanwhile, the BJP's decision not to grant tickets to nine current legislators has increased the dissent within the party.
According to sources, Haryana minister Ranjit Singh Chautala resigned from his ministerial position after the BJP did not grant him a ticket. He announced his decision to run as an independent candidate from the Rania assembly seat after resigning from Nayab Singh Saini's cabinet.
The BJP's exclusion of Ranjit Singh Chautala and eight other current legislators from their initial candidate list for the Haryana assembly elections has caused considerable dissatisfaction. Upset over the party's decision, Chautala has decided to contest the elections independently.
The BJP's decision to withhold tickets from these sitting legislators has generated discontent within the party. Ranjit Singh Chautala clarified that he would continue his political struggle from Rania, even if it means running as an independent candidate.
