Former Home Minister of Arunachal Pradesh, Kumar Waii on Wednesday joined Congress at party headquarters in Delhi in the presence of Congress National General Secretary KC Venugopal, Arunachal Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) working president Bosiram Iram and former minister Tanga Byaling.
Notably, Waii served as the Minister of Home and Urban Development in the previous Arunachal government from 2014-2019. He recently attacked the BJP government in the state and accused it of misusing the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) and public funds.

The meeting was attended by party president Mallikarjun Kharge, former party chief Rahul Gandhi, Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel, besides the party's in-charge for the state Kumari Selja and general secretary, organisation, KC Venugopal. The party's Chhattisgarh unit chief Mohan Markam and ministers, including T S Singh Deo, were also present at the meeting.
