NEW DELHI: Six prominent citizens from Punjab joined BJP at its national headquarters on Wednesday at a time when the saffron party is set to contest the assembly polls next year alone after its long-time ally Akali Dal severed ties with the NDA over passage of the three farm laws.
Those who joined BJP include former president of All India Sikh Students Federation (AISSF) Harinder Singh Kahlon, advocate Jagmohan Singh Saini who is also president of Farmers’ Intellectual Front (Patiala), advocate Nirmal Singh from Mohali, Kuldeep Singh Kahlon (former AISSF leader) from Gurdaspur, former vice chancellor of Guru Kashi University Jaswinder Singh Dhillon and Col Jaibans Singh from Patiala.
They joined BJP in the presence of Union minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat. The development came a day after home minister Amit Shah and BJP president J P Nadda held deliberations with state leaders, including president Ashwani Sharma.
