In a setback to the Jannayak Janata Party (JJP), its State General Secretary Harpal Kamboj on Friday resigned from the primary membership of the party. JJP was formed in December 2018 after a split in the Indian National Lok Dal (INLD). Kamboj sent his resignation to Jannayak Janta Party (JJP) president Ajay Singh Chautala. He said he quit the party due to "personal reasons". Kamboj was the urban district president of JJPs Ambala unit and had unsuccessfully contested the 2019 assembly elections on a JJP ticket from Ambala City. JJPs state unit president Nishan Singh and the partys general secretary Kamlesh Saini had also quit the party earlier this month. Polling for the 10 Lok Sabha seats in Haryana will be held in the sixth phase of general elections on May 25. The JJP has already announced five candidates and the names of the remaining candidates will be announced soon.  Ajay Chautala and Dushyant Chautala formed the JJP in December 2018 after a split in the INLD earlier that year following a feud in 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.
