Chandigarh: In a big setback to the ruling BJP in Haryana during the Lok Sabha elections, three independent MLAs have announced that they have withdrawn their support to the Nayab Singh Saini-led government in the state.
Sombir Sangwan, Randhir Gollen, and Dharampal Gonder have said that they have decided that they will support the Congress during the elections.

They made the announcement in Rohtak in the presence of former Haryana chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda and State Congress chief Udai Bhan.

“We are withdrawing support to the government. We are extending our support to the Congress,” Gonder said. “We have taken this decision on various issues including those related to farmers,” he said.

Speaking at the presser, Udai Bhan said, “The three Independent MLAs—Sombir Sangwan, Randhir Singh Gollen and Dharampal Gonder—have withdrawn their support to the BJP government and extended their support to the Congress.” Now, the assembly polls should be held immediately, he said.

“I also want to say that present strength of (90-member) Haryana Assembly is 88, of which the BJP has 40 members. The BJP government earlier had support of JJP MLAs and Independents, but JJP had also withdrawn support and now Independents are also leaving. “Nayab Singh Saini government is now a minority government. Saini should tender his resignation as he does not have right to stay even for a minute,” said Bhan.
