Sukhpal Khaira, other AAP MLAs likely to join Congress

Chandigarh, May 26

The Aam Aadmi Party in Punjab is struggling to keep its flock together. At least three of its MLAs — from the breakaway group — are expected to join the ruling Congress soon.

Other than Bholath MLA Sukhpal Singh Khaira, speculation is rife that Bhadaur MLA Pirmal Singh and Maur MLA Jagdev Singh Kamalu, too, could join the Congress soon. However, Khaira has so far denied any plan to switch sides. Harpal Cheema, AAP leader, said, “We had demanded from the Speaker that since these MLAs had left the party, their membership be cancelled. Perhaps, the ruling party had been waiting to induct them when the election are close.” — TNS
