New Delhi: With a neck-and-neck battle unfolding between the BJP and Congress in Haryana that is heading towards a hung Assembly, Dushyant Chautala's JJP on Thursday is all set to play the kingmaker.

The Congress has already reached out to the JJP trying to stitch an alliance. But reports suggest that Chautala has not given any assurances.

The JJP founder-chief is waiting for the final count. He has said it's too early to decide.

Congress is wary of the BJP taking JJP into its fold as the saffron party is also trying to reach out to the newly formed party.
