Ajay Chautala and Dushyant Chautala formed the Jannayak Janta Party (JJP) in December 2018 subsequent to a rift within the Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) earlier that year due to internal disagreements within the Chautala family.
In 2019, the JJP extended support to the BJP after the saffron party fell short of the majority mark in the assembly elections. The BJP-JJP alliance ended last month after which the JJP leadership said it would field its candidates on all 10 seats in Haryana.
