Tej Bahadur Yadav, the BSF constable who was dismissed from service after he had released a video in 2017 on quality of food served to soldiers, joined Jannayak Janata Party (JJP) here on Sunday in presence of its leader Dushyant Chautala. Last month Chautala led Jannayak Janta Party (JJP) entered into a poll alliance with Mayawati-led Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP). Interestingly, the JJP had contested the Lok Sabha polls in alliance with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) where it had to suffer a humiliating defeat being unable to secure even a single seat. Haryana has the strength of 90 seats out of which 17 are reserved for SCs and none for STs. The last date of filing nominations is October 4 and the scrutiny will take place on October 5.
