Chautala’s U-Turn Rocks Haryana Politics: Kanda Alleges BJP Hand
A political firestorm erupted in Sirsa on Tuesday, July 29, 2025, after INLD leader Om Prakash Chautala publicly denounced his party’s alliance with Gopal Kanda’s Haryana Lokhit Party (HLP). The statement triggered a sharp reaction from Kanda.
Kanda countered Chautala’s criticism, leveling a serious allegation. He claimed that Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar of the BJP had directly approached the HLP seeking support for the INLD. This claim immediately escalated the situation.
The ensuing war of words saw both sides trading accusations of backroom deals and political opportunism. The controversy highlighted the shifting sands of Haryana’s political landscape and the complex web of alliances.
However, despite the initial uproar, the political spat quickly subsided, leaving behind questions about the true nature of the BJP’s involvement and the future of these unpredictable alliances in the state. The episode serves as a stark reminder of the fluidity of Haryana’s political dynamics and the potential for unexpected shifts in power.
