The dynamics of the alliance were established after the assembly elections in October 2019, where the BJP secured 40 of the 90 assembly seats, falling short of a simple majority. Subsequently, a post-poll alliance was formed with the JJP, which holds 10 MLAs. Dushyant Chautala, the President and co-founder of JJP, assumed the role of Deputy Chief Minister in the coalition government. Recent developments indicate a strain in the partnership as Chautala engaged in seat-sharing discussions with BJP chief JP Nadda on March 11. Notably, the BJP had swept all ten Lok Sabha seats in the 2019 General Elections, which is said to have influenced the current negotiations.
