BJP announces to go solo in Haryana civic polls scheduled on June 19

The BJP today said it will go solo in the Haryana civic elections scheduled on June 19. The BJP and the Jannayak Janata Party, or JJP, are currently in power in the state's civic bodies.

The JJP had been in talks with the BJP to fight the civic elections together again. With the BJP saying it would contest alone, the JJP's negotiations would likely end



now.

"We will fight the municipal council election alone, and the district units will decide the municipality," Haryana BJP chief OP Dhankhar said today.

"The BJP district units will decide the candidates who will fight for the party in the municipality," he said, adding there will be a meeting in Panchkula on June 1 to work out a plan for the election.
