FIGHTING FOR EXISTENCE: INLD MAY LOSE ITS REGIONAL PARTY STATUS

As far as the state's two recognised regional parties - Indian National Lok Dal and its arch rival JJP (Jananayak Janata Party) are concerned, the INLD has got 2 seats while JJP failed to win even a single seat.

INLD and JJP did not get a respectable vote share either. On the other hand, independent MLAs Savitri Jindal, Devendra Kadiyan and Rajesh Joon have won from Hisar, Gannaur and Bahadurgarh seats.

INLD's vote share across the state was 4.14 per cent, while JJP's was 0.90 per cent. INLD got 575192 votes in the entire state while JJP got only 125022 votes.

Likewise, in the results of the 18th Lok Sabha general elections in June 2024, 4 months ago, INLD's vote share in Haryana was 1.74 percent while JJP's was 0.87 per cent.

Now, questions are raised on the recognition of INLD and JJP as regional parties and it is being said that due to poor performance in the recent Haryana Assembly general elections, the status of both of them as recognized regional parties in Haryana can be taken away by the Election Commission.
