At least three independent MLAs, who were backing the Nayab Singh Saini government in Haryana, have withdrawn their support and decided to campaign for the Congress candidates in the Lok Sabha elections.

The three MLAs namely Sombir Sangwan, Randhir Gollen and Dharampal Gonder made the announcement at a press conference held in Rohtak in the presence of former Haryana chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda and State Congress chief Udai Bhan.

"We are withdrawing support to the government. We are extending our support to the Congress. We have taken this decision on various issues including those related to farmers," Gonder said.

Sources said that the independent MLAs were disgruntled after were not inducted into the Saini government.

Meanwhile, Congress has demanded a President's rule in Haryana, claiming that the incumbent BJP government has lost the magic numbers.
