The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Haryana faced a setback as three Independent MLAs declared on May 7 that they have revoked their support for the government led by Nayab Singh Saini in the state.

The three MLAs -- Sombir Sangwan, Randhir Gollen, and Dharampal Gonder -- also announced their decision to back the Congress party during the elections.

They made the announcement during a press conference held in Rohtak, in the presence of former Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda and State Congress Chief Udai Bhan.

Gonder stated, "We are withdrawing support to the government. We are extending our support to the Congress." He further added, "We have taken this decision on various issues, including those related to farmers."

Udai Bhan also addressed the press, stating, "Nayab Singh Saini government is now a minority government. Saini should tender his resignation as he does not have right to stay even for a minute".

"We were elected as Independents because we genuinely supported the BJP. However, with inflation and unemployment soaring, and farmers and laborers facing hardships, we have decided to withdraw our support", Gollen stated, reported PTI.

CM Saini, reacting to the withdrawal of support, stated, "I have received this information. Maybe Congress is engaged in fulfilling some people's wishes now. Congress has nothing to do with the wishes of the public", in an interaction with the media, ANI has reported.
