New Delhi. Himachal Pradesh Assembly elections are due but this has dealt a big blow to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). In fact, on Friday, AAP chief Anoop Kesari and two other leaders have joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), giving a big blow to the party. Kesari, who left AAP’s broom at the residence of JP Nadda in the national capital, along with organization general secretary Satish Thakur and Una district chief Iqbal Singh were given party (BJP) membership. After joining the Bharatiya Janata Party, he also targeted AAP’s national convener Arvind Kejriwal. He accused CM Kejriwal of insulting party leaders during the roadshow in Mandi constituency. After Arvind Kejriwal’s roadshow in Una, Himachal Pradesh, the party was full of enthusiasm and was claiming that the party would be able to create an atmosphere like Punjab, but only two days after the roadshow, the party’s top leaders left the party. Joining BJP is ringing alarm bells for him in Himachal Pradesh.
Kesari said, “We in Himachal Pradesh were working round the clock with full sincerity and dedication for the Aam Aadmi Party for the past 8 years. But, Arvind Kejriwal ignored the party workers of the state during the rally and roadshow in Mandi. State AAP workers in Pahari considered this neglect as an insult and left the party for self-respect.”
