After having entered into an alliance, the INLD and BSP will hold a joint meeting of their working committees in Kurukeshtra on 2nd May to discuss in detail about all aspects of the alliance between the two forces as well as the challenges before the combine in the state.

Chautala said the alliance was about to bring a revolutionary change in the politics of the state. Both the parties are primarily the champions of the rural classes be they the farmers belonging to all castes, the exploited and suppressed sections of the society, the Dalits and the hard working laboring classes of the industry and the farms. Their coming together is a natural progression in the direction of securing justice for these classes, he said.

Chautala also informed that both the parties will jointly demand for the compensation for the wheat destroyed by fire in the fields this season. “Crores of rupees of wheat crop have been lost to fire and the farmers need to be compensated for these losses,” he said.

The Leader of the Opposition added that INLD and BSP have always stood up to those who exploited the weak, the corrupt as well as communal forces. It is because of the coming together of the INLD and BSP that both the BJP and Congress feel threatened as they see their support base eroded, he added.
