According to political experts, more than a dozen leaders may rebel against the party in the next two days.
Anti-BJP wave in Haryana
Assembly elections are to be held in Haryana on October 5. After being in power here for 10 years, BJP is now facing an anti-incumbency wave. The issue of caste and reservation has become a big challenge for BJP. After the alliance with Jannayak Janata Party (JJP) broke, BJP no longer has any strong ally in the state.
