Hisar, August 2
Senior Congress MLA Kuldeep Bishnoi today announced that he would join the BJP on Thursday. He also declared that he would resign from the Haryana Assembly tomorrow.
His resignation will necessitate a byelection in the Adampur Assembly segment.
The rebel Congress leader revealed his political plans while interacting with his supporters at his shop-cum-residence at Anaj Mandi in Adampur town of Hisar district.
“I have come to seek your permission to join the BJP as I want to end the 26-year-long power drought for my workers and the assembly segment,” he said.
Bishnoi also praised Haryana CM Manohar Lal Khattar. “I will be able to get more development projects for my assembly segment when I am with the party in power,” he said, as his supporters raised slogans in favour of the BJP.
He reached his home town in the evening. He was accompanied by his wife Renuka Bishnoi and mother Jasma Devi. “When I join the BJP at the party headquarters, all of you should also reach the venue,” he said to his supporters.
