The Jannayak Janta Party-Azad Samaj Party alliance released on Wednesday named 28 more candidates for the October 5 Haryana assembly elections 2024.
The two parties have also decided to extend support on the Rania assembly seat to former minister Ranjit Singh Chautala, who quit the BJP recently after being denied a ticket.
