A number of leaders joined the Congress today in the presence of former Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda at the party office here.

Prominent among those include Shiv Shankar Bhardwaj, former MLA and JJP candidate from Bhiwani, former minister Mangeram Gupta’s son and JJP candidate Mahavir Gupta and state vice-president of the BJP Kisan Cell Satish Rana.
