Ex-BSF man Tej Bahadur Yadav joins Dushyant Chautala's JJP, says will contest against Khattar

Former BSF jawan Tej Bahadur Yadav, who was dismissed in 2017 after he posted a video complaining about the quality of food served to the troops of the force, joined the Dushyant Chautala-led Jannayak Janata Party on Sunday and said he will contest the assembly polls against Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar.

Yadav, who hails from Mahendergarh district, joined the JJP in New Delhi in the presence of its leader Dushyant Chautala.

"I am thankful to the JJP and Dushyant Chautala that they nominated me to fight against the chief minister from Karnal," Yadav said.

He said unemployment was a major issue in Haryana.

"You know the condition of Haryana and how many people are unemployed in the state," Yadav said, adding that his fight has always been against corruption.

"In Dushyant, I see the image of late Chaudhary Devi Lal and like him, he has a clean reputation. In the future, I want to see him as Haryana's chief minister and for this, we need people's support," he said.
