Ahead of the crucial floor test of the newly elected Nayab Singh Saini-led BJP government in Haryana, Jannayak Janta Party (JJP) has issued a whip to its MLAs to remain “absent” from the state Assembly at the time of voting today.

Meanwhile, 5 MLAs of JJP have defied whip and are present in the assembly for floor test.

Nayab Singh Saini, the Lok Sabha MP from Haryana’s Kurukshetra, met Governor Bandaru Dattatreya on Tuesday to formally stake claim to form the government in the state, replacing his predecessor, senior BJP leader Manohar Lal Khattar.
