Jannayak Janta Party - JJP leader Dushyant Chautala wrote to Haryana Governor Bandaru Dattatreya, seeking an immediate floor test, claiming that the state BJP government led by Nayab Singh Saini, no longer holds a majority. 

Three Independent MLAs had withdrawn their support to the Saini government in the state on Tuesday, reducing the Nayab Singh Saini government to a minority in the state assembly.

In his letter, Chautala urged the Governor to direct appropriate authority to immediately call for a floor test.

BJP's former ally Jannayak Janata Party told reporters on Wednesday that it is ready to help the Congress bring down the BJP government in Haryana, a day after three Independent MLAs withdrew support to the ruling party. 

However, Chief Minister Saini asserted that his government was not in trouble. 

His predecessor and party colleague M L Khattar also claimed that many MLAs are in touch with the BJP and there is "nothing to worry about". 

Independent MLAs Sombir Sangwan (Dadri), Randhir Singh Gollen (Pundri), and Dharampal Gonder (Nilokheri) withdrew support for the ruling BJP in Haryana and announced that they would back the Congress.
