New political front in Haryana

By Rajesh Ahuja

CHANDIGARH, MAY 30. The Rashtriya Lok Dal of Mr. Ajit Singh and the Republican Party of India have joined hands in Haryana not only to expose the alleged failures of the Chautala regime but also to launch a jihad against the BJP and its allies.

Announcing the foray of the two parties in Haryana under the name of `Haryana Nirman Morcha' here this afternoon, Mr. Ajit Singh and Mr. Prakash Rao Ambedkar asserted that all secular-minded forces were welcome to rally behind the Morcha. However Mr. Singh, whose party has dissociated itself from the Congress in Uttar Pradesh, was evasive on whether the Congress would be approached to participate in the Morcha.

And the irrepressible lone RPI legislator in the Haryana Assembly, Mr. Karan Singh Dalal, has been appointed convener of the new outfit. The younger brother of Mr. Chautala, Mr. Pratap Singh, is also part and parcel of the `Morcha'.

According to Mr. Ajit Singh and Mr. Ambedkar, similar Morchas would be set up in Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan and the ultimate aim is to have a national presence.
