Though BJP is set to make a comeback in the government with the support of the Independents, Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar is not sure of taking oath again.
Khattar may be fielded as a candidate for the Lok Sabha elections by the saffron party, some reports have claimed.
JJP, the party led by Dushyant Chautala, allied with BJP after the 2019 assembly elections.
In the last parliamentary elections, the BJP had won all 10 seats which were up for grabs in the state.
