The Jannayak Janta Party, abbreviated as, JJP is an

Devi Lal, who served as Deputy Prime Minister of India
.

Formation

JJP emerged from a split in the

Digvijay Chautala
, were blamed.

When Dushyant and Digvijay were expelled from the INLD for allegedly permitting

Ajay Chautala, supported them and so he, too, was expelled from the INLD.[2][3]

The JJP was formally launched at a rally in Jind in December 2018 by Dushyant Chautala[4] who held a seat in the Lok Sabha of the national Parliament of India, from when he was an INLD member.

He said that the party's name was in honour of

Devi Lal, a former Deputy Prime Minister of India
whose supporters in Haryana refer to him as Jan Nayak, and that the party intended to follow his principles.

Dushyant's father, Ajay, absent from the Jind rally, being at that time in jail in relation to an alleged scam, as also was Om Prakash Chautala. Despite now being in opposite political factions, and claiming that the JJP was standing for values which the INLD had abandoned, Dushyant nonetheless asked supporters at the rally to chant "Long Live OP Chautala".[2][3]

Abhay Chautala who was leading the INLD in the absence of Om Prakash Chautala reacted to the news by saying that "Everybody is not capable of floating a political party and then continue with it". At least three INLD MLAs, including Dushyant's mother, Naina Singh Chautala were early members of the new JJP.[2]
