JJP's Dushyant Chautala calls on former Haryana CM Khattar

Two days after his party's alliance with the BJP ended in Haryana, Jannayak Janata Party leader Dushyant Chautala on Thursday met former chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar in Chandigarh.

It was immediately not known what transpired in the meeting.

JJP sources said that it was "purely a courtesy call". They said the two leaders met for nearly 25 minutes.

Meanwhile, JJP is drawing up its strategy to contest the Lok Sabha polls in Haryana on its own. In this regard, the party has planned to hold meetings of two Lok Sabha constituencies every day over the next five days, the sources.

On Wednesday, JJP chief Ajay Singh Chautala had said his party worked with full honesty to fulfil the 'gathbandhan dharma' over the last four and half years of the alliance and his party was never power hungry.

His statement had come after the BJP-JJP alliance ended with the national party replacing Khattar with Nayab Singh Saini as the Haryana chief minister.
