Open to alliance with like-minded parties: Chautala

LADWA(KURUKSHETRA): After the Mayawati-led Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) ended the alliance with the Indian National Lok Dal (INLD), party supremo OP Chautala, who is on a 21-day furlough, on Monday hinted the possibilities of forming alliance with any like-minded party saying nobody is an enemy. “The world lives on hope. We don’t have any malice towards anyone, if like-minded people would come to us and promise to take us along for the bright future of the country, we would not have any objection,” the INLD chief said. Chautala, who is serving 10-year jail term in teachers’ recruitment scam came out from Tihar jail, however, avoided answering questions about BSP ending its alliance with INLD and joining hands with the Loktantra Suraksha Party. He also refused to comment over the performance of fledging Jannayak Janta Party in the Jind bypoll.

“Though I am in jail for giving jobs to 3,200, I promise to give job to every educated youth as per their ability, without giving any importance to caste, community or political association. I am ready to spend my remaining life in jail, but I promise to give job to all educated youth,” he said.
