Chandigarh, October 8

In a big jolt to the INLD in Haryana, Charanjeet Singh Rori—the party’s Sirsa MP from 2014 to 2019—joined the Congress on Tuesday.

Rori joined the Congress in the presence of state Congress president Kumari Selja in Sirsa.

Rori joins the party at a time when former state Congress president Ashok Tanwar resigned from the primary membership of the party. Rori can now hope of being fielded by the Congress from Sirsa in the next Lok Sabha elections.

Tanwar had won the Sirsa Lok Sabha seat in 2005 and contested this seat in 2009 and 2014 unsuccessfully.

Before 2005, Selja had won the seat twice and her father Dalbir Singh had been elected from Sirsa on three occasions.
