Punjab Congress veteran Sunil Jakhar had joined the BJP last month by resigning from the party. At the same time, after Sunil Jakhar, Congress leaders Raj Kumar Verka, Sunder Sham Arora, Gurpreet Singh Kangar and Balbir Sidhu along with many other leaders have joined BJP on Saturday.
Who joined BJP: Congress leaders Raj K Verka, Gurpreet S Kangar, Balbir Sidhu, Kewal S Dhillon, Sundar Sham Arora, Kamaljit S Dhillon, and Shiromani Akali Dal leader BB Mohinder Kaur Josh, Sarup Chand Singla, Mohali mayor Amarjeet S Sidhu joined BJP. Let us inform that in Chandigarh, these leaders of Punjab were included in the party by Union Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat in the Modi government. At the same time, Home Minister Amit Shah also reached Chandigarh BJP headquarters on this occasion.
Let us tell you that this is like a setback for the Congress, which has been ousted from power in Punjab. Even in the last five years, more than a dozen MLAs have resigned from the Congress. At the same time, former minister Rajkumar Verka changed his profile to Congress from his Twitter account before joining the BJP.
At the same time, on May 14, 2022, former Congress Congressman Sunil Jakhar had said “Goodluck” and “Goodbye” while giving further greetings to the Congress during Facebook Live. It is worth mentioning that Jakhar was given notice for his remarks against the party during the last Punjab Assembly elections and statements made against former CM Charanjit Singh Channi. However, without replying to the notice, he said goodbye to the party.
The Congress is facing such setbacks at a time when the Congress party is battling on the triple front of leadership, survival and internal strife. On the other hand, Kapil Sibal also submitted his resignation to the party on 16 May. Let us tell you that he is ready to go to Rajya Sabha with the support of SP.
