The Hisar MP was reacting to a query related to his previous wish to bring the former Chief Minister to the JJP platform.
On Sunday, Dushyant tried to avoid queries regarding his grandfather.
Without naming him, Dushyant said that now he and Om Prakash Chautala belong to two different political ideologies. “Our ideology is influenced by the principles of Chaudhary Devi Lal and struggle of Dr Ajay Singh Chautala,” said the youngest MP, who is elder son of Ajay Chautala.

On Sunday, accompanied by JJP’s Haryana unit president and former MLA Nishan Singh, Dushyant said that they have targeted to make 30 lakh members of the JJP with in a month in January. “Not only this, we will mobilise 1.7 lakh workers for 17,000 polling booths of the state under the concept of ‘one booth-ten youth’.”
When asked about the possibility of any poll alliance, the JJP leader said: “The party executive committee will take a call in this regard once we conclude the organisational structure process.”
