Arvinder Singh Lovely and a couple of other known faces of the Delhi Congress unit joins BJP
Days after quitting the grand old party, Arvinder Singh Lovely, former Delhi Congress chief, and Rajkumar Chauhan, a former Congress minister, joined BJP at the party headquarters in the national capital on Saturday.
Apart from Arvinder Lovely and Rajkumar, a couple of other known faces of the Delhi Congress unit including Naseeb Singh, Neeraj Basoya, and Amit Malik joined the BJP on Saturday.
Arvinder Singh Lovely resigned as the Delhi unit chief of the Congress party, on the April 28th.
Lovely’s resignation was followed by Delhi legislators Naseeb Singh and Neeraj Basoya quitting the party, thus giving a big setback to the Congress party.
Rajkumar Chauhan, the former Delhi minister and the All-India Congress Committee (AICC) member resigned from the party last month after Delhi Congress’ disciplinary committee objected to his ‘dissent’ to the party line.
Leaders quitting Congress have cited reasons for alliance with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the high command giving preference to ‘outsiders’ over local leadership, in ticket allotment for Lok Sabha polls and also for party’s affairs.
