He said plans were underway to ensure that rally is historic in its scale. “Thousands of party workers from the city are working towards making the rally a success. There is enthusiasm among the cadre as well as commoners, including farmers and youngsters, who identify with the party’s politics,” he said while addressing mediapersons in the city on Wednesday.

Alavalpur reiterated that the JJP would contest on all 90 seats of the assembly and focus on unemployment and farmers’ distress during campaigning.

He also accused the ruling BJP government of making false promises to the people. “Law and order in the city has gone for a toss. We keep hearing about incidents of murder and dacoities every other day. People of the state will vote out this government and elect Dushyant Chautala as their leader,” he said.

The JJP is yet to announce its candidates for the Gurugram assembly seats, but as per insiders, a decision could be taken before the rally. Alavalpur said the party high command was conducting a scrutiny of applications and candidates would be announced soon.
