Manish Khanduri joins Congress, Danish Ali quits JDS to join BSP

In what comes as surprising development ahead of 2019 Lok Sabha elections, Janata Dal-Secular (JD-S) General Secretary Danish Ali, who was a key figure in formulating the alliance negotiations with the Congress and the JD-S in Karnataka, on Saturday joined the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP).
In yet another significant development, Manish Khanduri , the son of former Uttarakhand CM and BJP leader Maj Gen (Retd) BC Khanduri, is likely to join the Indian National Congress at the public rally of the Congress in Dehradun.
