The switch in Haryana came amid the ruling BJP-JJP coalition coming apart, though party leaders from both sides did not make immediate comment.The BJP replaced Khattar with OBC leader Nayab Singh Saini who was later sworn in as Haryana’s new Chief Minister.Khattar said that it was a matter of happiness that youth face Saini, an MP from Kurukshetra, was made the CM.He said Saini is his old friend.Replying to a question, Khattar spoke about the JJP’s demand for the Lok Sabha seats for the upcoming polls.He said BJP’s target is to fight all the 10 Lok Sabha seats in Haryana and give them to “Modi ji’s kitty”.The JJP must have spoken to the BJP’s central leadership over this issue, he said, adding he has come to know that the JJP has decided to contest the Lok Sabha polls separately.
