Hry CM loses majority as 3 independent MLAs pull out; govt safe: BJP

Three out of five Independent MLAs, who were helping Nayab Singh Saini govt in Haryana retain its majority since JJP’s exit from the coalition, withdrew support on Tuesday, giving Congress ammunition to demand its dismissal amid BJP’s staunch defence of what it said was a “safe and stable” cabinet. BJP still has the backing of two Independents-Nayan Pal Rawat and Rakesh Daulatabad-and HLP legislator Gopal Kanda.
