Haryana Political Crisis - Dushyant Seeks Floor Test Amidst Turmoil

In a new development in the ongoing political drama in Haryana, CM Nayab Singh Saini spoke to the media on Friday, accompanied by three Jannayak Janata Party MLAs. Saini accused the opposition of misleading the public.

Despite claims by the Congress and the JJP that his government is in the minority following three Independent MLAs switching sides, Saini stood firm. He challenged the opposition to reveal how many legislators support them and asked them to submit this information in writing to Governor Bandaru Dattatreya.
