Formation[edit]
JJP emerged from a split in theIndian National Lok Dal(INLD) which itself had been cause by infighting among the Chautala family.[1]An INLD rally atGohanain October 2018 had seen heckling ofAbhay Chautala,a son of INLD leaderOm Prakash Chautalafor whichDushyant Chautala,a grandson, and his younger brother,Digvijay Chautala,were blamed.
When Dushyant and Digvijay were expelled from the INLD for allegedly permittingindisciplineat the rally, their father,Ajay Chautala,supported them and so he, too, was expelled from the INLD.[2][3]
The JJP was formally launched at a rally inJindin December 2018 byDushyant Chautala[4]who held a seat in theLok Sabhaof the nationalParliament of India,from when he was an INLD member.
He said that the party's name was in honour ofDevi Lal,a formerDeputy Prime Minister of Indiawhose supporters in Haryana refer to him asJan Nayak,and that the party intended to follow his principles.
Dushyant's father, Ajay, absent from theJindrally, being at that time in jail in relation to an alleged scam, as also wasOm Prakash Chautala.Despite now being in opposite political factions, and claiming that the JJP was standing for values which the INLD had abandoned, Dushyant nonetheless asked supporters at the rally to chant "Long Live OP Chautala".[2][3]
Abhay Chautalawho was leading the INLD in the absence ofOm Prakash Chautalareacted to the news by saying that "Everybody is not capable of floating apolitical partyand then continue with it ". At least three INLDMLAs,including Dushyant's mother,Naina Singh Chautalawere early members of the new JJP.[2]
