New Delhi, Oct 26: After quitting from the Jannayak Janata Party (JJP), Ex BSF soldier Tej Bahadur Yadav, on Friday, has posted a strongly-worded video on FB accusing the JJP of being a 'BJP B-team'. In the video, he can be seen accusing the party chief Dushyant Chautala for betraying the people of Haryana by backing the BJP. Yadav said he resigned from the JJP due to the party's tie-up with the BJP to form the new Haryana government.

In the three-minute long video clip Tej Bahadur Yadav said, "I feel I made a very big mistake in joining JJP. Dushyant Chautala has betrayed the people of Haryana, and those who voted for him, by supporting the BJP to form the government. The people who gave the JJP 10 seats did so not because of him or the JJP name, but because of the ideals of Devi Lal (two-time Haryana Chief Minister who is Chautala's great-grandfather).”

Yadav joined the JJP last month and contested the election from Karnal against Manohar Lal Khattar. He could secure only 3,175 votes to Khattar's 79,722.

In the beginning, while joining the party, Yadav had praised Chautala as a politician with a clean image with same ideals of Devi Lal. However, now he has retracted that compliment and said "I had my suspicions. I felt that JJP was B-team of BJP. Haryana has given mandate that ousts BJP but Dushyant Chautala has supported the party that people don't want."

When he joined the party, the former BSF solider had praised Chautala as a politician with a "clean reputation" and said his ideals were similar to those of Devi Lal. However, in Friday's video, he retracted that compliment.
