Interacting with reporters in Rewari after holding a meeting with Jannayak Janata party (JJP)’s workers, Babli said the notification regarding the panchayat polls will be issued soon and his party (JJP) will not contest the polls on party symbols because the local village polls are the symbol of brotherhood and harmony.

“Our party is serious about spreading its base in southern Haryana and they are making efforts in this direction by holding regular workers’ and public meetings. Our party is committed to fulfilling its promises made to the people of Haryana in the 2019 assembly and we will fulfil all our promises before going to the next assembly polls,” the panchayat minister added.
