The loss of ruling partner JJP is not likely to impact the BJP’s Lok Sabha poll prospects in Haryana, as the party is projected to sweep the state in the ensuing elections.

According to an opinion poll survey by ABP in association with CVoter, the saffron party, which sailed through the crucial floor test in the Assembly earlier in the day, is poised to win 8 out of the 10 Lok Sabha seats in Haryana while the Congress is shown to be winning the remaining two.

Haryana plunged into a political crisis after Deputy Chief Minister Dushyant Chautala’s JJP pulled out of the ruling alliance over reported differences in seat-sharing for the Lok Sabha elections.

The BJP and the JJP were believed to be locked in a dispute over the Hisar and Bhiwani-Mahendragarh Lok Sabha seats in the state. The JJP, reportedly was adamant on contesting Hisar and Bhiwani-Mahendragarh but the BJP refused to play ball.

With the seat talks hitting a deadlock, Chautala, who founded the JJP after splitting with the Indian National Lok Dal (INLD), withdrew support to the government led by Manohar Lal Khattar.

However, the BJP overcame the crisis as it staked claim to form the government with the support of seven Independents.

The party’s national leadership, however, announced a change of guard at the helm as the BJP’s state chief and Lok Sabha MP, Nayab Singh Saini was picked as the new legislature party leader. Along with outgoing CM Khattar, the entire state cabinet resigned, making way for Saini to come in as the new chief minister.

After staking claim to forming the next government in the state, Haryana Governor Bandaru Dattatreya asked Saini to prove his majority in the House on Wednesday. The BJP, with the support of the Independents, sailed past the magic figure in the Assembly.
