BJP-HJC meet on Sep 30 to discuss seat-sharing for LS polls

The BJP and its ally Haryana Janhit Congress will meet on September 30 to discuss seat-sharing arrangement for the 2014 Lok Sabha polls.
"The meeting in Kurukshetra will deliberate upon seat sharing between the alliance partners for the 10 Lok Sabha seats in Haryana," state BJP chief Rambilas Sharma said today.
On October 20, leaders of the state BJP will meet national party president Rajnath Singh to apprise him of the final seat-sharing arrangement, he said.
It is for the first time that BJP will contest the Lok Sabha polls in Haryana in alliance with Kuldeep Bishnoi-led HJC.
Coming out in support of its ally, Sharma said BJP will extend full cooperation to HJC's proposed rally in Adampur in Hisar on October 6.

Several senior BJP leaders, including Murli Manohar Joshi, will be part of the rally, he said.

Bishnoi recently attended the BJP's ex-servicemen rally at Rewari which was addressed by the saffron party's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi.
Dismissing rumours that the party is looking for a possible alliance with the INLD, Sharma said, "This (alliance with INLD) is not possible at any cost."
"We had a bad experience when the party supported (Om Prakash) Chautala during their term in the state," Sharma said.
He also accused Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda of "running a government with the support of criminals."

Former Minister Gopal Kanda, two MLAs O P Jain and Zile Ram Sharma are in jail, while Chief Parliamentary Secretary Ram Krishan Gujjar is facing criminal charges, he said.
Sharma alleged that in the last nine years of the Hooda regime, over 67,000 acres of land was acquired by the government and no new sector was developed for the poor.
