Former MP Ajay Chautala, who came out on a three-week furlough from Tihar Jail on Monday, will be campaigning for the Jannayak Janata Party (JJP) candidates in Haryana for the Lok Sabha poll.
The JJP was launched by Ajay Chautala’s elder son Dushyant Chautala after the Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) split last year.
The party will be holding a meeting of its core committee on Tuesday and will deliberate on prospective candidates for the general election.
The candidates are likely to be announced on Tuesday or Wednesday, a party spokesperson said.
The JJP and the Aam Aadmi Party recently forged an alliance and announced to jointly contest the 10 Lok Sabha seats in Haryana.
Ajay Chautala, elder son of former Chief Minister and INLD president Om Prakash Chautala, is serving jail sentence in connection with a teachers recruitment scam.
Ajay will be campaigning for JJP candidates in a day or two, the spokesperson said, adding no conditions had been put with the furlough, which meant that he was free to campaign.
