Ahead of the Lok Sabha polls, BJP MP from Hisar Brijendra Singh on Sunday resigned from the social gathering’s main membership as a consequence of “compelling political reasons” and joined the Congress.
Soon after asserting his resignation on X, Bijendra Singh, the son of BJP chief Birender Singh, reached Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge’s residence in New Delhi and joined the opposition social gathering.
“I have resigned from the primary membership of BJP due to compelling political reasons. I extend gratitude to the party, National President Sh. J P Nadda, Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi, & Sh Amit Shah for giving me the opportunity to serve as the Member of Parliament for Hisar,” Brijendra Singh stated in his submit.
Senior Congress leaders Ajay Maken, Mukul Wasnik and Deepak Babaria had been additionally current at Kharge’s residence when Bijendra Singh joined the social gathering.
Congress sources stated the bureaucrat-turned-politician is ready to be the social gathering candidate from Hisar.
In the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, Bijendra Singh had defeated JJP’s Dushyant Chautala and Bhavya Bishnoi, who was then with the Congress, to win the Hisar Lok Sabha seat.
Bijendra Singh is the good grandson of distinguished Jat chief Sir Chhotu Ram.
