BJP takes a dig at his statement."},"content":{"rendered":"<p><b><span dir=\"auto\">Haryana.<\/span><\/b><span dir=\"auto\">\u00a0While sharp statements are common in Haryana politics, Arjun Chautala, the Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) MLA from the Rania assembly constituency, has made a claim that has heated up the entire political landscape. From a public platform, Chautala declared himself the first MLA of the &#8220;Cockroach Janata Party.&#8221; This bizarre claim by the MLA has given the opposition parties a ready-made issue. The Bharatiya Janata Party has seized on this statement, raising serious questions about the internal strife within the INLD and its political future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span dir=\"auto\">BJP&#8217;s taunt: Has INLD lost one MLA in the Assembly?<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">BJP state media in-charge Arvind Saini has taken the lead on this entire incident, putting INLD in the dock. Speaking to reporters in Chandigarh, Arvind Saini said that after Arjun Chautala&#8217;s official announcement, the biggest technical and political question now is whether INLD should be considered one less MLA in the Haryana Assembly. He said that when an MLA is declaring himself the first MLA of another so-called party, the silence of the party high command raises many doubts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span dir=\"auto\">Demand to clarify the situation from Abhay Chautala<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Arvind Saini directly targeted senior INLD leader Abhay Singh Chautala, saying he should immediately clarify his position on this matter. The BJP leader questioned that if this isn&#8217;t a joke or a political stunt, then INLD should tell the public whether their party has officially joined this &#8220;Cockroach Janata Party&#8221; campaign, or whether their MLAs are deviating from their own party line and pursuing a personal agenda. Saini alleged that such statements by INLD MLAs clearly indicate a specific political mindset is at work, aiming to mislead society.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span dir=\"auto\">&#8216;INLD has become a laboratory for social media trends&#8217;<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">The BJP media in-charge didn&#8217;t stop there. He took a dig at INLD&#8217;s style of functioning, saying that the people of Haryana are curious to know whether INLD has now abandoned serious politics and become a part of digital gimmicks only. He said that it is not appropriate for any responsible political party to fuel campaigns on social media that provoke and mislead innocent youth. Saini said that INLD should first decide within itself whether it is a serious political party or just a laboratory model that sets social media trends.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span dir=\"auto\">Arjun Chautala has lost faith in his own party!<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Referring to the turmoil within the party, Arvind Saini said that Arjun Chautala&#8217;s move makes it clear that he no longer has faith in INLD&#8217;s policies and leadership. This is why he is preferring to identify with another platform rather than INLD. He added that a democracy should be a healthy battle of ideas, not such misleading campaigns. It remains to be seen how the INLD high command and Abhay Chautala himself will defend their MLA&#8217;s statement in this entire controversy.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Haryana.\u00a0While sharp statements are common in Haryana politics, Arjun Chautala, the Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) MLA from the Rania assembly constituency, has made a claim that has heated up the entire political landscape.
