Arvinder Singh Lovely, who recently quit as Delhi Congress chief, joins BJP
PTC News Desk: Arvinder Singh Lovely, who recently resigned from the post of Delhi Congress president, joined Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Saturday.
The former congress leader was inducted in the saffron party in the presence of Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri, BJP General Secretary Vinod Tawde and Delhi BJP chief Virendra Sachdeva.
Along with Lovely, former Congress legislators Raj Kumar Chauhan, Naseeb Singh, and Neeraj Basoya, as well as former Youth Congress President Amit Mallik, have joined the BJP.
Arvinder Singh Lovely resigned as Delhi Congress chief on April 28 and submitted a letter to Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, expressing his opposition to the Congress-AAP alliance in Delhi.
"The Delhi Congress Unit was against an alliance with a party which was formed on the sole basis of levelling false, fabricated and malafide corruption charges against the Congress Party. Despite that, the Party made a decision to ally with the AAP in Delhi...," Arvinder Singh Lovely stated.
He also criticised the North-East Delhi candidate (Kanhaiya Kumar) for falsely praising the Delhi Chief Minister and applauding the AAP's work in education, health, roads, and electricity.
"Such ill-thought and factually incorrect statements have not gone down well with the Local Party Unit since, the local party workers had an inherent understanding that the alliance was not done in appreciation of AAP's false propaganda of the development of Delhi and was in fact, a "compromise- to improve the chances of victory for the Party as part of the National Alliance."
