Manohar Lal Khattar resigned from the post and as an MLA in March this year. Former allies JJP and BJP fell out after they could not successfully conclude a seat-sharing agreement for the Lok Sabha Elections. Dushyant Chautala, a key player in the political dynamics, expressed in an interview with Indian Express that he and the party would support Congress and the Leader of Opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda if they moved to topple the government.

In the interview, Chautala noted that Hooda, the Leader of Opposition in the Haryana Assembly and Congress, the largest opposition party, should take the initiative to topple the government. Chautala had mentioned that he would write to the Governor of Haryana seeking a floor test. JJP leader Dushyant Chautala told Indian Express that Bhupinder Singh Hooda is not moving to topple the Nayab Singh Saini government “because of the ED and CBI cases he is facing." Dushyant Chautala informed that the JJP would support Congress from ‘outside’ if the Leader of Opposition, Bhupinder Singh Hooda, initiates steps to topple the government.

“I can assure that if there is a floor test now, each of the JJP MLA shall vote according to the party whip and ensure the government's fall", Chautala said. Chautala informed that the former no-confidence motion moved against the Haryana government on March 13 became null when Manohar Lal Khattar resigned. The JJP leader called Nayab Singh Saini a ‘weak chief minister’.
