New Delhi [India], May 5 (ANI): After former Delhi Congress president Arvinder Singh Lovely joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Saturday, Delhi Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj took a swipe at the ruling party, accusing it of “breaking opposition parties”.
The AAP leader, while speaking to the reporters here, also came down heavily on Lovely and said that the latter’s entry into the BJP was already anticipated since he stepped down as the Delhi Congress president in protest against the party’s alliance with INDIA bloc partner AAP.
“The day he resigned from Congress, almost everybody got to know that he would be joining the BJP. This is the politics of BJP, they break other parties but even after doing all these things, INDIA alliance is going to win all the 7 seats in Delhi,” Saurabh Bharadwaj said.
Arvinder Singh Lovely joined the BJP on Saturday making it the second time that he stepped down as the Delhi Congress president.
He, along with four former Congress leaders, joined the BJP in the presence of Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri. The four others who joined the party include former Congress MLAs who had recently left the party — Rajkumar Chauhan, Neeraj Basoya, Naseeb Singh — and Delhi Youth Congress chief Amit Malik.
Speaking to reporters after joining the BJP, Lovely said that he met his supporters and several Congress workers following his resignation, who urged him “not to sit at home but join a strong party to fight for the people of Delhi.” (ANI)
