BJP Leader Birender Singh Resigns From Party
Former Union Minister and BJP leader Birender Singh resigned from the party on Monday and he is slated to join the Congress.
“I have resigned from the primary membership of the BJP and sent my resignation to party chief J.P. Nadda. My wife Prem Lata, who was an MLA from 2014-2019, has also quit the party. Tomorrow, we will join the Congress,” he said, IANS reported.
Having joined the BJP in August 2014, Singh, known for his influence within the Jat community, made the decision ahead of the Haryana Assembly elections.
His move to join the Congress is perceived as an effort to court Jat voters in Haryana, Rajasthan, and western Uttar Pradesh.
Earlier on March 10, Singh's son Brijendra resigned as a BJP MP and opted to join the Congress, citing "pressing political considerations."
Brijendra's departure from the BJP occurred five months after his father issued a warning to the party during a rally in Jind, stating his intention to leave if the BJP maintained its alliance with the Jannayak Janata Party (JJP).
