In a surprising turn of events, Arvinder Singh Lovely, the former Delhi Congress chief, and Rajkumar Chauhan, a former Congress minister, have joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The two prominent leaders made their move official at the BJP headquarters in New Delhi on Saturday.
Joining them were also a few other well-known faces from the Delhi Congress unit, including Naseeb Singh, Neeraj Basoya, and Amit Malik. This move comes at a time when the Delhi Congress has been facing a lot of internal issues, with leaders expressing their dissatisfaction over the party's alliance with the Aam Aadmi Party and the preference given to "outsiders" in ticket distribution for the Lok Sabha polls.
Rajkumar Chauhan, who was a former minister in Delhi and a member of the All India Congress Committee, had resigned from the party last month after facing objections from the Delhi Congress' disciplinary committee for not following the party's line. Similarly, Arvinder Singh Lovely had also stepped down from his position as the Delhi unit chief, causing a major setback for the party. This was followed by the resignation of other prominent leaders, such as Naseeb Singh and Neeraj Basoya, who were both former Delhi legislators.
The Delhi Congress has been in a state of turmoil due to infighting and disagreements among its members. Many leaders have been left feeling frustrated and neglected, leading to multiple resignations and defections. The party's decision to form an alliance with the Aam Aadmi Party, which was seen as a controversial move by some, has also added fuel to the fire.
As the dust settles and the Delhi Congress tries to regroup, the entry of Arvinder Singh Lovely and Rajkumar Chauhan into the BJP has left many wondering about the future of the party and its leadership. Will this move bring about a change in the political landscape of Delhi? Only time will tell.
